Why study BTEC Enterprise and Entrepreneurship?
The course will give you a clear idea of what it is like to run a business. You will explore the mindset and traits of an entrepreneur as well as gaining a valuable understanding of what it is like to run a business. This will include learning about the activities undertaken by entrepreneurs such as marketing as well as gaining an understanding of the principles of accounting.
Today’s BTEC Nationals are demanding and you will have to complete a range of units, be organised, take some assessments externally set and marked, and keep a portfolio of your assignments. But you can feel proud to achieve a BTEC because, whatever your plans in life – whether you decide to study further, go on to work or an apprenticeship, or set up your own business – your BTEC National will be your passport to success in the next stage of your life.
A BTEC in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship will provide you with UCAS points (if you have a specific university in mind please check in advance that they accept this qualification) and enable you to progress on to higher education, an apprenticeship or to start your own enterprise.
As part of the course you will develop transferable knowledge and skills that would be useful in any profession. For example, leadership, problem solving, teamwork, and organisation skills.
To help achieve all this we have partnered with the Peter Jones Foundation through their Peter Jones Enterprise Academy scheme to enrich the learning experience of students throughout the 2 years of the course. This includes participation in competitions but also being part of a wider network of participating schools.
