Introduction
The following scheme of work offers a route through the A-level Business course, covering all the sections and sub-sections in a logical order,
including opportunities to develop the necessary set of skills required for interacting with the business world. Guidance is given about any prior
knowledge which is helpful or required. The order is by no means prescriptive and there are many alternative ways in which the content could be
organised. Time has been built in for assessment activities and revision but all timings are approximate.
Assumed coverage

120 taught hours per year. A considerable amount of work would need to be completed outside lessons, partly depending on lesson time available.
