About this course

Free BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business Course in Liverpool. Classes run at Holly Lodge Girls' College, full-time during the day.

It carries the same weight as one A Level. The course takes around 22 months to complete. You'll study topics including business finance, marketing, human resources, and how organisations operate. Assessment combines coursework and exams, so you're not relying on one final exam alone.

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

Who this course is for

If you're interested in business but not ready to commit to a totally work related route to further study or employment, this course will give you the chance to get a taste of business, alongside other subjects such as A levels or other work related qualifications. Equivalent to 1 A level, the course combines well with most other Level 3 subjects and would suit you if you prefer a combination of coursework and exams to a linear course with a final exam. You don't need any previous qualifications or experience in business and the course will give you useful transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis that are useful in a wide range of careers.
