Business Studies Distance Learning - The Course

The course includes two major components - AS and A2.  The AS level examination can be sat in its own right.

Each lesson begins with a set of clearly stated objectives and an explanation of its place in the overall programme of study. Effective learning is encouraged through frequent activities and self-assessment questions.

There are fifteen tutor-marked assignments (known as TMAs).

Key Topics Covered

The course covers the syllabus in four modules, to match the new  AQA 2130 specification, with examinations in 2010-11 or later years. The AQA Units and the modules in our course have the following titles:

AS Level

• Planning and Financing a Business

• Managing a Business

A2 Level

• Strategies for Success

• The Business Environment and Managing Change

 

The Syllabus

The AS course prepares candidates for the AQA Business Studies AS level syllabus 1131. Most candidates will then study the A2 syllabus 2131. The full Advanced Level qualification comprises AS and A2. We have chosen this syllabus as it is the one best suited to distance learning.

Assessment is by four written papers, two at AS level and two at A2 level. There is no coursework.
