These units make up the qualification, which is equivalent to four GCSEs at grades C to A*.

A mandatory requirement for all learners is the pursuit of functional skills. These provide English and Maths equivalent to GCSE C if successfully passed and allow progressing to the National Diploma if desired.

Note that there are external tests to be taken for these. There are no examinations for the BTEC qualification as all assessment is coursework and assignment based. Some assessment may be multiple-choice under timed conditions. There are short multiple choice tests for the functional skills attainment.

Teaching activities include extensive group work, and independent research using texts, the internet and external visits.

On completing this course you will develop your personal and professional skills which would include time management, self-confidence, working under pressure, working to deadlines, group working, presenting information, problem-solving and personal values.

Through subject content you will gain a good understanding of types of organisation and their operations in the national economy. Through career planning you will be prepared to enter employment or to progress to a Level 3 course.

Applicants for a Level 2 programme will normally have:

- at least 4 GCSEs at grade D or above and/or a completed Level 1 award. GCSEs to include English and maths at grade D or above or Level 1 Functional Skills qualifications
