Students will study three units:
- Enterprise and marketing concepts – Students will develop an understanding of how and why customer segmentation is used and how to target a customer market. They will also develop an understanding of how to attract and retain customers and the techniques to use when developing products and how to investigate what makes a product viable. This unit is assessed through an external exam.
- Design a business proposal – Students will develop a business proposal for a given scenario where they will need to develop a new product based on a customer profile. They will develop their market research skills in this unit. This unit is assessed through coursework.
- Market and pitch a business proposal – Students will create a brand identity and promotional plan for their product proposal in the previous unit. This unit will be assessed through coursework
Many students go on to study Business further at A Level and on to University where they specialise in many areas such as Marketing, Accountancy, Human Resources and Business Management. Some students go straight into an apprenticeship or a business where they learn and develop key skills on the job.
