Course Content

Business Management focuses on the development of entrepreneurial, problem-solving, decision-making and ICT skills, which are essential in enhancing employment opportunities. The aim of this course is the development of skills and knowledge in allowing pupils to access, understand and contribute to today’s business and information environment.

Within Business Management pupils will participate in different groups and individual activities, manage business information, go on industrial visits, and engage in enterprise and team-building activities, to help examine the nature/importance of business, the purpose of business, how businesses acquire/manage resources and how individuals contribute to business. Pupils also take part in the Mini Enterprise event in June.

All qualifications in Business Education offer strong employability skills.
