Level 3 Cambridge Technical Extended Certificate in Business

Our level 3 Business course will lead you to a wide range of careers and open doors to progression routes to University and Higher Apprenticeships. If you prefer a more vocational way of learning and like to be assessed through a mixture of exams and internally marked coursework, then this could be your option. You will learn about core business needs such as marketing, accounts and decision making. You will develop your communication skills and learn to present, key skills if you want to work in a business environment. You will learn how a business can evolve from a small start up to a large multinational and the things that happen in the background to enable such growth.
