Business

At Chesterfield College, our business students have the chance to study a wide range of topics, from sales and marketing to finance and enterprise, providing a fundamental understanding of the world of business. There are both theoretical and practical elements to our courses which have all been designed to develop your employability skills.

We offer Level 2 and Level 3 courses in Business. Our Level 2 course in Business is from the OCR exam board and consists of 6 units. This is worth 2 GCSEs. This course is great for those who don’t have enough qualifications for Level 3. It is classed as a bridge course that will allow you to go onto Level 3 or an apprenticeship next year. This Level 2 is all coursework, there are no exams.

The OCR Level 3 Technical Foundation Diploma is designed for those who want to understand how businesses work or want to set up their own businesses. The course is part coursework and part exam-based. Modules include business environment, working in business, business ethics, planning and events, and project management. This course is ideal for those wanting to progress from Level 2 and wanting to gain the qualifications relevant for university.

Ross Casemeti…

“I always knew I wanted to do business, I’ve always been quite business-minded so I knew it was the way. I like money and I like having money. I’ve always been interested in how I can make more money and I think that’s why I like business.

Every module of my course is relevant to business. A lot of it is quite specialised as well. The unit I have just completed was international business and that’s very similar to what I’m doing at university so it’s all very interesting for me.”
