We are committed to teaching you more than just the theory of business. Our teachers will help prepare you for a successful career.
“I’ve learnt a lot from the course, and it’s really improved my confidence”
Students have competed in the Tycoon Enterprise Competition run by the Peter Jones Foundation where they set up their own businesses. This included raising funds, designing and commissioning products, then sold these to the local community for a profit they share at the end of the academic year, when they liquidated their company. You will not only learn the rules and skills you need for the business world, but will be given the tools to progress from a student into a business professional. We regularly have guest speakers in to talk to students about their experiences in the business world.
Every one of our students will research, target, apply for, and spend at least a week doing meaningful work experience in an area they find exciting and relevant. We treat our students as adults and encourage them to take responsibility and pride in their assignments, behaviour, professional conduct and appearance. You will also take part in organising events for some of your units. You will learn to plan and pitch for business ‘Dragon’s Den’ style. UK trips to look at real- life examples of business functions like sales and marketing.
