About this course

Free BTEC National Extended Diploma in Business in London. Classes run at Newman Catholic College, full-time over two years.

The course gives you a broad grounding in how businesses work. You'll study marketing, finance, human resources, and business strategy. It's equivalent to three A levels and is designed for learners with four or five GCSEs at grade 4 or above in relevant subjects.

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

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for anyone considering a career in business including running one of your own. It will give you a broad overview of the business sector and the chance to apply your learning to the kinds of situations faced in business today. The course is a useful stepping stone to business related courses in higher education, or to business jobs and apprenticeships. It will also give you transferable skills that can be used across a range of careers. Equivalent to 3 A levels, it is more coursework focused than a traditional A level business course, so would suit you if you prefer being assessed on projects and assignments rather than a final exam.
