About this course

Free Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business Course in Ramsey. Classes run at Ramsey Gatehouse Sixth Form, full-time over two years.

This Level 3 BTEC business course covers business theory and practical skills side by side. You'll study topics such as business finance, marketing, human resources, and how organisations operate. The course blends structured theory with applied tasks, so you build knowledge you can use in the workplace or take into further study.

You'll need the equivalent of five GCSEs at Grade 5 or above, including Business. You finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate.

Who this course is for

BTEC Business National is designed to provide a more practical, real-world approach to learning alongside a clearly explained and structured theoretical background. This will help you to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to prepare you to meet the needs of employers as well as supporting your progression to university or an apprenticeship.
