Topic outline

    • Hello and welcome to the Bridging course for Year 12 BTEC Business.  

      First of all may I take this opportunity to welcome you to the Business Department.  Some of you will already know us and have studied with us in years 10 and 11 however there will be some of you that we have not yet had the pleasure to meet, so welcome.  

      We understand these are strange times and this would not normally be how we would start this course however we have put together a number of tasks for you to complete that are relevant to the coursework that you will complete during this course.  

      We will start the course with some activities to introduce you to the topics that we will be covering in our first two assignments. 

      Each topic area below should take up to two hours. You should complete one topic a week.  

      Each week from 1st of June until 17th July we will be setting a weekly activity to help prepare you for your new subject.  You will need to keep the work that you complete in a folder you do not need to email it back to us.  This can either be stored electronically or printed if you prefer and have access to a printer.  You will need to bring this work with you when you return to class.  If you have any questions or need any help please contact lconley@qehs.net or laspden@qehs.net.  We hope you enjoy your first half term of online learning!  Hope to see you all soon Mrs Conley & Mrs Aspden.
