What are lessons like in this subject?

In BTEC Business, we ensure that our lessons allow opportunities for learners to practice developing employability skills. Lessons build on real-life examples to help learners see theory in practice. In the past, we have had guest speakers from Morrisons, and we have also visited Cadbury World, Hull University and the Bank of England in London to further learners’ knowledge and understanding of the business world. We have a range of IT suites to use for lessons and Microsoft Teams will be used as a library of resources to help aid independent learning in this subject.

What our
students

say

This course has allowed me to gain knowledge of subjects that will be applicable to my life after college for example, finances. It has also taught me how businesses work internally and externally which I wasn’t aware of before. Overall, it’s a great subject to study and I definitely recommend it.
