Business and Hospitality

Our career-focused BTEC Business Management and Hospitality course is designed for students seeking a more experiential approach to learning. Created in consultation with academics, our two-year Level 3 programme also supports progression into higher education.

BTEC units cover a variety of business areas, including HR, accounting, management, retail, and marketing. The course also includes a work experience unit, which enables our learners to gain practical, hands-on experience in the sector. We work closely with the Les Roches, for example, to offer outstanding opportunities in top hotels. The course also reinforces our link to Switzerland through exciting placements in the Swiss hospitality industry.
