About this course

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

This Level 3 BTEC business qualification is awarded by Pearson Edexcel. You'll study how businesses are organised, how they market products, manage finances, and make decisions. Units cover topics such as business environment, human resources, and entrepreneurship. It's a broad Level 3 business course that builds both knowledge and practical skills.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC National Extended Certificate in Business.

Who this course is for

This course is for students who want to continue studying biology after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the topics but the A level will give you the chance to study these and some new ones, in much greater depth. You might be choosing biology because you're headed for a healthcare or scientific career, though it will give you a set of skills that can be used in a wide range of non-scientific careers too. This course links well with most other A level subjects but particularly with those such as Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Geography and Psychology.

What you will learn

  • You'll explore how businesses are structured and how they operate.
  • You'll study marketing principles and how businesses reach customers.
  • You'll learn how organisations manage people and human resources.
  • You'll examine business finance, including budgeting and financial planning.
  • You'll develop skills in research, analysis, and presenting business ideas.
  • You'll investigate entrepreneurship and what makes a business successful.

How you will learn

The course is classroom based, with full-time daytime attendance at The Langley Academy. You'll be assessed through a mix of internally assessed assignments and externally assessed examinations set by Pearson Edexcel. Assignments are completed throughout the course and marked by your tutors. External assessments test your knowledge under exam conditions.
