BTEC Foundation in Business and Retail

Do you aspire to work within either the business or retail industries? If so, our exciting new study programme in business and retail will allow you to broaden your knowledge and skills across two related subjects. Not only will you be studying the core elements necessary to succeed in business but you will also incorporate two retail units giving you a flavour of what it could be like working in the retail industry. The purpose of this course is to allow students to have the opportunity of different progression routes allowing flexibility when applying for jobs or going on to higher education. This is a one-year study programme (six units equivalent to one and a half A levels) with an option upon successful completion of the course to progress onto the National Extended Diploma or our T level programme. You will participate in activities that help you develop your skills, such as building your character and confidence. This will help you to live well and move into your chosen career. If you are 16-19, these activities will be timetabled as will work experience and placement. You can also choose to take part in other activities.
