Case study
"I chose this course to go with my plan for real estate which was the career path I wanted to work towards during sixth form. What I enjoyed was the law topics and the realistic topics such as finding a job which we would need to tackle in the everyday scenarios. This course will help me in the future by opening possibilities for me in the future such as real estate or any other course to do in university."

What Will You Learn?
Businesses are all around us; we all know and can recognise them instantly. Brands like Coca Cola, Cadbury and McDonalds are sold on every high street, in every city across the country. But how do businesses like these work? One day you will be learning about accounting, where accuracy and number skills are paramount to analyse cash flow, costs and profit.
