Our Level 3 vocational qualifications are a practical introduction to business, and support progression to further study or employment. They're included in the Department for Education (DfE)'s performance tables for technical and vocational qualifications aimed at students aged 16 to 19. They also attract UCAS tariff points.
Developed together with teachers, schools, colleges and higher education institutions, they help learners to develop fundamental business and entrepreneurial knowledge and skills.
A mixture of assessment types means learners can apply their knowledge in a practical way. Our integrated approach creates a realistic and relevant qualification for learners.
