As this is an online course, prior approval will be needed before enrolling. Students need to be aware that this course will be done entirely online and they will not have one-on-one teacher support, other than their online tutor.
NCEA Level 2 Business Studies programme is taught in a thematic approach. This means that you will learn about aspects of Business Studies in a way that allows you to make connections between topics. It means that some content within one unit could then be assessed as part of an internal assessment but other aspects will be assessed later within an external examination paper. You will be given clear guidance about the content and requirements of all assessments but should ask your teacher if you require any further clarification.
