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 day to day.
  • You'll study marketing principles, including how businesses reach and retain customers.
  • You'll learn how organisations manage their finances and control costs.
  • You'll examine human resources and how businesses recruit, develop, and support staff.
  • You'll analyse how external factors, such as economic change, affect business decisions.
  • You'll develop skills in research, data analysis, and presenting business information.

How you will learn

You'll learn through classroom sessions at West Walsall E-ACT Academy. The Pearson Edexcel BTEC is assessed through a mix of internally assessed assignments and externally set examinations. Assignments are completed throughout the course and marked by your tutors. External assessments are sat at set points during the two years.
