VCSE (Level 1 / Level 2) Business, Accounting and Finance
This qualification will introduce learners to key business, accounting and finance concepts, develops their understanding of sustainable and responsible business practices, and enables them to apply their learning through a practical business project with a strong finance and accounting focus.
Work-related Foundation Qualification (Entry Level / Level 1) Business, Accounting and Finance
The qualification will be designed to offer learners an introduction to business activity and operations, helping them understand how businesses work in practice while developing practical skills through the creation and implementation of a business idea.
