About this course

Free Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business Course in Sevenoaks. Classes run at Wrotham School, full-time over two years.

This BTEC business course covers four units. You'll explore how businesses operate, develop a marketing campaign, and study personal and business finance. A fourth unit builds on your business skills further. The course is equivalent to one A Level and earns UCAS tariff points, so it counts toward university applications. You can combine it with other Level 3 subjects at the school.

You'll need a Merit or above in a BTEC, or five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above, to join. You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business.

Who this course is for

Our sixth form is for students who are aged 16-19 when they are completing their applications. For a two-year course, students should be aged 16 or 17 on the 31st August of the year they plan to start studying with us.

Wrotham Sixth Form offers a variety of subjects at Level 3 (A Level or equivalent). All courses offered by Wrotham School Sixth Form are level 3, which means that they are accepted by universities and attract UCAS tariff points.

Students with particular Additional Educational Needs should ask about specific provisions on interview.
