Choose your specific pathway in Business and spend time undertaking foundation learning towards your vocational path by studying units such as Branding a Product, Recording Income and Expenditure, and Communicating with Customers. Study essential English, Maths and Employability skills alongside your pathway to ensure you have the best opportunity of progressing into your desired sector.

A key requirement for future progression and employment is a good understanding and application of knowledge and skills in both English and Maths. Learners who are enrolled on this course will also, as part of their overall programme of study, be enrolled on Functional Skills and/or GCSE English and Maths to progress towards gaining grade 4s in both subjects.

We aim to provide you with the core skills required to progress into further study, training or employment upon completion of your study programme. Key attributes required by employers are that individuals be enthusiastic, motivated, presentable (in some instances in company uniform), organised, articulate, able to think 'outside the box', business-like and enterprising, and that they have a 'can-do' attitude. We work on all these areas throughout the duration of your programme of study, and your tutor(s) will provide feedback on progress made, as well as areas for development.

As well as having a keen interest in your pathway and a willingness to learn, learners must possess GCSE grades 2 or 3 in both English and Maths, or achieved at least an Entry level 3 in Functional Skills English and Maths.
