About this course

Free BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business Course in Hatfield. Classes run at Onslow St Audrey's, full-time over two years.

This Level 3 BTEC business course covers how businesses operate, how they market products, and how they manage people and finance. You'll study business units alongside other subjects. The course suits learners who want to keep their options open for higher education, not just business degrees.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Business.

Who this course is for

The Extended Certificate is for learners who are interested in learning about the business sector alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in business-related subjects.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore how businesses are organised and how they make decisions.
  • You'll study marketing principles and how businesses reach customers.
  • You'll learn how organisations manage people and human resources.
  • You'll examine business finance, including budgets and financial planning.
  • You'll develop research and analytical skills used in business contexts.
  • You'll build an understanding of how external factors affect businesses.

How you will learn

The course uses a mix of classroom teaching, coursework assignments, and external exams. Some units are assessed through Pearson-set assignments marked internally. Others are assessed by external exams set and marked by Pearson Edexcel. You'll work on projects and case studies in class throughout the two years.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Onslow St Audrey's will confirm anything else you need before you start.
