Who this course is for

n KS5 students have the opportunity to work towards a BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Business as an option on the A-Level programme of study.

BTECs embody a fundamentally learner-centred approach to the curriculum, with a flexible, unit-based structure and knowledge applied in project-based assessments. They focus on the holistic development of the practical, interpersonal and thinking skills required to be able to succeed in employment and higher education. BTEC National qualifications provide a broad introduction that gives learners transferable knowledge and skills.

The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Business is designed for students who are interested in learning about the business sector alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing into a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in business-related subjects. It should be taken as part of a programme of study that includes other appropriate BTEC Nationals or A-Levels. Students study two mandatory units: Developing a Marketing Campaign and Personal and Business Finance, each with a written examination, alongside two optional units that require internally assessed assignments. Additionally, students will have to undertake a week of work experience in year 12.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore how businesses are organised and managed.
  • You'll study marketing principles and how businesses reach customers.
  • You'll learn about business finance and how money flows through an organisation.
  • You'll develop skills in research, analysis, and presenting ideas.
  • You'll work on project-based assignments that apply business theory to real scenarios.
  • You'll build interpersonal and communication skills valued by employers.

How you will learn

You learn through a mix of classroom lessons and project-based assignments. Assessment is mostly coursework. You complete unit assignments throughout the course rather than sitting a single final exam. Some units may include an externally assessed component set by Pearson Edexcel. Your teacher will guide you through each unit and give feedback on your work.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Lincoln UTC will confirm anything else you need before you start.
