About this course

Free BTEC National Diploma in Business in Leamington Spa. Classes run at Campion School, full-time over two years.

The course covers how businesses operate, marketing strategies, and event management. You'll carry out real market research, take part in job interviews, and run your own event. Topics also include different business types and how organisations plan and grow. You'll need five GCSEs at grades 4 to 9 to join, though no prior Business Studies GCSE is required.

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

Who this course is for

The course is a vocational qualification lasting 2 years and will allow you to develop your knowledge and understanding of working within a business. You will be encouraged to learn through practical tasks, so will participate in real-life business activities such as running and managing your own event, taking part in job interviews and conducting your own market research. You will also investigate the different types of businesses and how effective their marketing strategies are. You will also investigate different communication methods within a business and understand the importance of employing suitable people. As part of the course we will look to visit a range of organisations and bring in outside speakers to allow you to apply your learning to real examples.
