The Level 4 Higher National Certificate in Business offers students a broad introduction to the subject area via a mandatory core of learning, while allowing for the acquisition of skills and experience through the selection of optional units across a range of occupational sectors at Level 4. This effectively builds underpinning core skills while preparing the student for subject specialisation at Level 5. Students will gain a wide range of sector knowledge tied to practical skills gained in research, self-study, directed study and workplace scenarios. Teaching will be delivered online plus. Your full-time course will be a mixture of time spent in classrooms and then other time spent learning online. In-person sessions will be offered at our Waterloo centre. To give students maximum choice, we have adapted our curriculum to offer an Online Plus format of learning where the majority of teaching is delivered online with around 20% of in centre delivery. The Online Plus delivery model provides ample opportunities to engage with course material while developing vital transferable skills for online working. Our digital teaching and learning resources incorporate Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Teams and Moodle. Moodle is a learning platform designed to provide learners with a single robust, secure, and integrated system to create personalised learning environments. The course will involve a range of teaching methods, including lectures, group discussions and tutorials. Learning is achieved through completion of written coursework, individual and group presentations, and role-plays. Your progress towards achieving the learning outcomes will be reviewed throughout the course. At the start of the course you will have an opportunity to discuss these with your tutor and set your own personal targets, linked to the learning outcomes and future goals i.e.: progression to another course.

Summative assessment is where students are provided with the assignment grades contributing towards the overall unit grade.
