Business Diploma Level 3

Aims

The aims of this programme are to provide a range of flexible learning opportunities for learners in a broad range of business occupations which reflect current business practice and enable learners to develop and employ skills which directly impact on their contribution to an organisation, and personal effectiveness.

The courses will enable students to develop functional specialisms in (for example) marketing or finance whilst also promoting an understanding of their contribution to the organisation as a whole through a core unit which requires students to formulate, test and gain support for improving working practices amongst colleagues.

The units are structured to enable candidates to study subjects relevant to their current learning needs whilst permitting, over time, the accumulation of knowledge and skills.

Assessment of candidates’ learning is centred on practical application of knowledge and in particular on demonstrating learning in the workplace and business improvements.

The programme provides 15 course units and can select ANY FIVE units in order to be eligible for the diploma.
