Modules
During your first year, you will complete the level 4 aspects of the course. The Level 4 units lay the foundations of learning by providing a broad introduction to business and different business functions. This develops and strengthens core skills while preparing learners for study at Level 5 or to enter employment with the qualities necessary for job roles that require some personal responsibility. Learners will gain a wide range of business knowledge tied to practical skills gained through research, independent study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Learners are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop vocational behaviours (the attitudes and approaches required for a competence) and transferable skills. Transferable skills are those such as communication, teamwork, research and analysis, which are highly valued in higher education and the workplace. By the end of Level 4, learners will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of leadership and management. Learners will be competent in a range of subject-specific skills as well as general skills and qualities relevant to key areas of business. On completion of the level 4, you will then progress onto the level 5 aspects of the qualification in your second year. The Level 5 units give learners the opportunity to gain knowledge, skills and behaviours aligned to the Occupational Standard (OS) for Operations or Departmental Manager. The units will prepare students to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision-making, and support students to aspire to future management roles including: Operations Manager Regional Manager Divisional Manager Department Manager and Specialist Managers
Assessment method
Your assessment consists of a variety of coursework and practical examination e.g. presentations and group discussions. The assessment of Pearson's Higher National qualifications are criterion-referenced, and you will provide evidence in the form of assignments which are assessed against the unit learning outcomes and assessment criteria.
