BTEC Tech award in Enterprise level 1 / 2 Example coursework answer for C1LAA (course ends in 2023)

As a teacher i always find it useful to write my own answer to the coursework when following new BTEC specifications. This resource contains my interpretation of all of the criteria (distinction grade) for all learning aims in component 1 of the new BTEC Tech award in Enterprise.

The businesses that i have used are fake and is used as a demonstration on how the more able pupils can access the top grade. I have been teaching BTEC since 2007 and so am confident that my interpretation of the specification is correct. Language used in places is not what is expected for a 14-16 year old, however can be used as a useful guide.

As a bonus resource I have also included a step by step pupil checklist to help pupils self assess themselves whilst completing each task within each part of the coursework.

Finding a university place in Ucas Clearing 2024: 10 top tips to help you get ready

• BTEC diplomas

Qualifications you can take

• Cambridge Pre-Us
• Cambridge Technicals
• International Baccalaureate
• Scottish Highers
• Scottish Vocational Qualifications

BTEC stands for the Business and Technology Education Council. BTECs are specialist work-related qualifications.

They combine practical learning with subject and theory content. There are over 2,000 BTEC qualifications across 16 sectors – they are available from entry level through to professional qualifications at level 7 (equivalent to postgraduate study).

Who are they for?

You could study a BTEC at Level 2 or 3, either alongside academic qualifications or as part of a wider programme (such as an apprenticeship). You can also study a BTEC as a standalone course.

• applied science
• art and design
• construction
• engineering
• health and social care
• hospitality
• performing arts
• public services
• travel and tourism

The different types of BTEC

BTECs are broken down into three main levels of study:

• BTEC Firsts  are available from entry level to Level 2 (similar standard to GCSEs). These offer an introduction to work in a vocational sector . Combined with other qualifications, these can enable you to go on to further study, to an apprenticeship, or into employment. 
• BTEC Nationals  are available from Level 3 (similar standard to A levels). Many of these are well regarded by universities, further education colleges, and employers. A BTEC National qualification can lead to employment, continuing study, or professional development programmes.   
• BTEC Apprenticeships  are available at Levels 2 to 5 across more than 25 sectors. 

How do they work?

BTEC qualifications are flexible – you can take one alongside (or instead of) GCSEs and A levels in schools and colleges. They’re also usually studied full-time, either in college or jointly between a school and a college.

BTECs are divided into units, which cover specific areas of knowledge, skills, and understanding required by the particular sector or industry. 

• Every BTEC student takes the core units, which provide a broad foundation and understanding about the sector.
• There is a range of optional units to choose from which enable students to focus on particular interests and plans they have for next steps into further study, an apprenticeship, or employment. 
• The course involves a series of assignments which can be written or activity-based, for example creating a film clip, planning and putting on a performance, or creating a business plan. Students complete some assignments individually and some as part of a team. For some BTEC courses, students can also apply their knowledge and skills through work experience.

Taking a BTEC this year?

Ofqual's student guide gives you information about this year’s arrangements and explains what support is in place when you're taking exams and assessments.

What are the entry requirements for a BTEC?

Entry requirements vary depending on the school or college and the particular BTEC course you are interested in. You may need up to five GCSEs at grade 9 to 4, or A* to C.

What can you do next ?

BTEC Nationals

On successful completion of a BTEC National qualification, students can progress to employment or continue their learning in the same or related areas of study, in higher education and professional development programmes.

Some BTEC National qualifications are recognised as technical certificates and form part of the apprenticeship framework. They can attract UCAS points but if you are thinking of going to university or on to higher education , it is important to check whether the universities offering the courses you want to apply to accept BTEC Nationals.

BTEC Firsts

These enable you to go on to further study at Level 3 (for example BTEC Nationals), to do an apprenticeship, or to go into employment.

What are Btecs?

• What can you study at Btec?
• How are Btecs assessed? What is their equivalent in Ucas points?

What's the difference between Btecs and A-levels?

• Which universities accept Btec?
• Which Btec should you take?

Anything else to consider?

What can you study at btec, what are the different types of btec.

• Btec Level 1 and 2 = equivalent to GCSEs
• Btec Level 3 = equivalent to A-levels
• Btec Level 4-5 = equivalent to 1st and 2nd year of an undergraduate degree. 

What’s it like to move from GCSEs to a Btec? 

How are btecs assessed what’s their equivalent in ucas points.

Teaching style:  if you study A-levels, you'll be taught in a similar manner to how you've been used to throughout your secondary education. Btecs are slightly different in that theory is combined with regular practical work so you can directly apply what you learn. For example, those studying a Btec in business will still learn the key concepts as they would at A-level, but the way your knowledge is tested may be different. Assessments:  whereas A-levels are assessed mainly through exams at the end of year 13, Btecs are assessed via regular coursework and projects throughout the course, as well as some externally-marked tests. If you struggle in exam conditions, Btecs can relieve this pressure by spreading out the work that makes your final grade. Practical experience : when applying to university, you'll need to demonstrate your passion for the field you wish to study. The benefit of Btecs is that you automatically gain practical experience as part of your course. Subjects you can study: although we've pointed out above that you may be surprised by the range of subjects on offer at Btec level, there is still a strong understanding that Btecs lend themselves more to subjects with a practical nature. Therefore subjects which are firmly rooted in theory and concepts – such as English or maths – will only be available at A-levels.
