About this course

Free Level 3 Business Course in Wimborne. Classes run at Queen Elizabeth's School, full-time over two years.

Employers and external speakers contribute to your learning throughout the course. To join, you'll need a pass in Level 2 Business or a GCSE grade C in English and Maths.

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

Who this course is for

BTEC Business students at QE are at the forefront of delivering Enterprise related initiatives. In the past two years, assessed as part of the course, students have organised and delivered Enterprise days to students at Key Stage 4. Employers also play a major part in the course with external speakers visiting and organising study days to assist with the completion of assessments. In the past year we have worked with DEK, Barclays Bank, Cadbury's and Marwell Zoo.
