THE INTERNATIONAL BTEC DIPLOMA IN BUSINESS

The International BTEC Diploma in Business gives students the chance to learn by doing. Your child won’t just study business theory; they’ll apply it to real-world projects in marketing, logistics, and entrepreneurship, gaining the confidence and skills they’ll carry into university or the workplace.

 

At Level 3, the BTEC is equivalent to two A-levels and opens doors to university, polytechnics, or a direct career path. At Level 2, it’s the ideal first step for students starting their business journey, with the option to progress to Level 3 or transition into work. For added flexibility, students can even combine the BTEC with IB subjects.

 

Alongside their BTEC, students further develop transferable skills which include Digital Skills (ICDL), Presentation and Performing Arts Skills (LAMDA), PE, and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS).

 

With a focus on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, the BTEC equips your child with the practical skills and mindset to thrive beyond school. Combined with IB courses, it offers a balanced route to future success.
