Introduction
The aim of this qualification is to develop knowledge and understanding in a range of subject areas which are pertinent to the development of participants and to junior management roles in organisations. The qualification also supports progression for learners to higher qualification levels. The Level 4 Business and Management qualification has been developed to conform to the RQF requirements.
This qualification is therefore designed to provide:
- maximum flexibility with different sized level 4 qualifications for those who only wish or have the time to initially take smaller qualifications and then build up larger extended qualifications over time
- opportunities for learners to develop a breadth of knowledge and understanding of subject matter related to business and management
- development of underpinning skills, personal qualities and attitudes essential for successful performance in working life
- optional units in particular specialisms that are directly related to learners’ current responsibilities or that meet a particular interest and support career development
- a base for continued learning and a desire to constantly develop as an individual, further improving knowledge, understanding and skills.
