Enterprise & Entrepreneurship
Subject lead: Mr Murphy, The Green School for Girls
Enterprise and Entrepreneurship will help you to develop the skills and experience you need to start and run your own business.
This programme can be studied alongside two A-levels, or one A-Level alongside the BTEC Extended Certificate in Health and Social Care/CTEC Sport and Physical Activity/Applied Diploma in Criminology.
The Extended Certificate in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship is for learners who are interested in learning about business and enterprise alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in business-related subjects.
