COURSE OUTLINE

BTEC HND Business Level 5

The new BTEC Higher National qualifications in Business are designed to address an increasing need for high quality professional and technical education pathways at Levels 4 and 5, thereby providing students with a clear line of sight to employment or to progression to a degree at Level 6. The course adopts a student-centred approach with a flexible, unit-based structure. Students are required to apply their knowledge to a variety of assignments and activities, with a focus on the holistic development of practical, interpersonal and higher level thinking skills. Assessment reflects not only what the student knows but also what he or she can do to succeed in employment and higher education in an ethical manner. Employers are looking for recruits with a thorough grounding in the latest sector requirements. They are also seeking employees with work-ready skills. Higher Education students must have experience of research, extended writing and meeting deadlines. The BTEC Higher Nationals address these various requirements.
