About this course

Free Level 3 Business Course in Redbridge. Classes run at The Forest Academy, full-time during the day.

This BTEC covers the core areas of modern business: finance, marketing, human resources, and business strategy. You'll study how organisations operate and how decisions get made. The course takes two years to complete.

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

Who this course is for

This course is for students who want to continue studying Art and design after GCSE. You'll already be familiar with some of the skills and techniques, but the A level will give you the chance to study in more depth and develop your own particular artistic strengths and interests. It will suit you if you are creative and enjoy combining theory with lots of practical work. Even if you aren't aiming for a career in art and design, this course will give you a set of transferable skills including creativity, communication and the ability to work independently which can be useful in a range of careers.
