About this course

Free Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business Course in Salisbury. Classes run at Sarum Academy, full-time over two years.

This Pearson Edexcel BTEC business qualification covers core business topics alongside your other A Levels or BTEC Nationals. You'll study how businesses operate, how they market products, and how they manage people and finance. The course suits learners taking a broad programme of study, not just those focused on business alone.

You'll need five GCSEs at grade 4 or above to apply. You'll finish with a Level 3 BTEC 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. It is designed to be taken as part of a programme of study that includes other appropriate BTEC Nationals or A Levels.

Entry requirements

5 GCSEs grade 4 and above

What you will learn

  • You'll explore how businesses are structured and how they make decisions.
  • You'll study marketing principles, including how businesses reach and keep customers.
  • You'll learn how organisations manage people and human resources.
  • You'll examine business finance, including budgets, costs, and financial planning.
  • You'll develop skills in research, analysis, and presenting business information.
  • You'll investigate how external factors, such as the economy and law, affect businesses.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions at Sarum Academy. Assessment is a mix of externally assessed exams and internally assessed assignments. The assignments are set by Pearson Edexcel and marked by your tutors. Exams are sat at set points during the two years. Both elements count toward your final grade.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Sarum Academy will confirm anything else you need before you start.
