About this course

Free Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business Course in Milton Keynes. Classes run at The Hazeley Academy, full-time during the day.

This Level 3 BTEC business course runs over two years. It combines coursework and exams, so you're not relying on a single final exam. You'll study core business topics including marketing, finance, human resources, and business strategy. The course sits alongside A levels and other Level 3 subjects well.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel 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.
