CNAT Enterprise and Marketing
Curriculum Intent
To equip students with the knowledge and skills to achieve success in the ever-changing world of work.
Course description
Exam Board: Edexcel
The nature of the course is very ‘hands on’ with involvement from a range of local businesses. You will have the opportunity to meet local entrepreneurs and explore the enterprises that they are successfully running. You will leave the course with a robust understanding of what makes a business successful, and will be fully equipped with a number of employability skills that will support you in all stages of life.
Assessment
The course consists of 3 components:
Component 1: Exploring Enterprise (Coursework assignments 30%)
Component 2: Planning for and Pitching an Enterprise Activity (Coursework assignments 30%)
Component 3: Promotion and Finance for Enterprise (Exam 40%)
Throughout the two year course you will learn about the fundamental elements to business success. The coursework components take away the pressure from 100% examined courses and you will have one opportunity to re-sit the exam to achieve the highest grade possible.
Key skills
You will learn how to produce financial documents and promotional materials for a business enhancing your numeracy skills and harnessing your creativity. You will also be able to write professional reports, improve your time-management through meeting regular deadlines as well as improving your interpersonal and communication skills through discussions and presentations.
