About this course

Free BTEC National Diploma in Business in Hackney. Classes run at Our Lady's Catholic High School, full-time over two years.

The course covers business principles, research skills, and applied business practice. You'll study alongside ICT, giving you a three A Level vocational pathway. Units explore topics such as business strategy, marketing, finance, and enterprise. You'll also be encouraged to find a work or voluntary placement one afternoon a week. This gives you the chance to apply your skills in a real setting.

You'll finish with a Pearson Edexcel Level 3 National Diploma in Business.

Who this course is for

Equivalent in size to two A Levels, this course is offered with ICT and provides students with a three A Level Vocational pathway. BTEC courses are designed to be more suitable for those students that are able to apply themselves and can develop their own research skills to complete coursework tasks. We are hoping to encourage students to find work/voluntary placements one afternoon each week where they will be able to apply their business skills in real business situations. We feel this will give students an invaluable insight into the world of business and make this course a truly vocational experience. Students will then be able to bring their understanding of work experience back into their coursework. BTEC Business is suitable for students who are interested in learning about the Business sector alongside ICT
