About this course

Free Level 3 Business Course in Liverpool. Classes run at King David High School, full-time over two years.

The course covers core business topics including marketing, finance, human resources, and business strategy. You'll also develop transferable skills in communication, teamwork, and research. It combines coursework and exams, and carries the same weight as two A levels.

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

Who this course is for

If you're interested in business and want to follow a work related route to higher education or employment, this course is for you. Equivalent to 2 A levels, you can combine it with other level 3 qualifications that either complement or contrast with business. It would suit you if you prefer a combination of coursework and exams to exam only courses. You'll also get transferable skills such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis that are useful in a wide range of non-business careers.
