About this course

Level 2 Business Course in Nottingham. Classes run at Bluecoat Sixth Form, full-time during the day.

The course may be free if you are 16 to 18 years old. If you are 19 or over, fees may apply. A bursary is available for households with an income under £35,000 a year.

This BTEC business qualification covers how businesses operate, customer service, finance, and marketing. You will study for one year and develop practical skills that employers look for in business and admin roles. You will finish with a Pearson Edexcel BTEC First Extended Certificate in Business.

Who this course is for

The Level 2 Extended Diploma is a one-year full-time vocational course that will provide a practical, work related introduction to the Health & Social Care sector.

Upon achievement of this qualification, learners will be able to progress to our Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, or into a range of job roles within the health and social care sector such as:

  • Care Support Workers in Adult Residential Settings
  • Healthcare Assistants in Community, Primary Care and Acute Health Environments
  • Care Support Workers in Domiciliary Services, Supported Living or Day Services
  • Community-Based Support Workers.

You may wish to progress onto further study at Level 3, which is equivalent to 3 A Levels & attracts UCAS points for entry into Higher Education.
