Course Overview

Would you like to work in a thriving business environment? Would you like practical, real world work experience? Would you like to study in state-of-the-art facilities?

This two-year course has been developed in conjunction with major businesses such as Sainsbury’s, HMRC and Santander to ensure it provides you with up-to-date, relevant and exciting content. 25% of the course is real-world practical work placement, and this work placement can be voluntary or paid.

You will gain technical knowledge and skills specific to your chosen industry or occupation, a work placement of at least 315 hours in your chosen industry or occupation, and relevant maths, English, and digital skills.

If you see your future career being in business, either as a self-employed entrepreneur, managing projects and events, or managing and leading a team in an employed capacity, then we can help you get the knowledge, skills and experience you need to succeed.

Topics may include:

  • Business context
  • People, quality, and compliance
  • Finance
  • Policies and procedures
  • Project and change management
  • Business behaviours

Year 2 is assessed by completion of the Occupational Specialism taken under controlled classroom-based exam conditions.

During your two years of study, you must complete 315 verified work placement hours to be awarded the qualification.
