About this course

Free Level 3 Business Course in Redbridge. Classes run at Oaks Park High School, full-time during the day.

This Pearson Edexcel BTEC covers the core areas of business: marketing, finance, human resources, and business strategy. You'll also build transferable skills in communication, teamwork, research, and analysis. The course takes two years to complete and combines coursework with exams. It carries the same weight as two A levels, so it opens doors to university as well as employment.

You'll finish with a BTEC National Diploma in Business at Level 3.

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.

How you will learn
