The brainchild of Peter Jones, the NEA will provide 16-19 year olds with the opportunity to develop the skills and mindset to succeed in the modern business world. From this September, the NEA will offer two completely unique qualifications in enterprise and entrepreneurship from its two leading-edge enterprise centres in Buckinghamshire and Manchester.
Developed in partnership with Edexcel, the brand new qualifications in enterprise and entrepreneurship are available at Levels 2 and 3. The Level 2 qualification, a BTEC Diploma in Understanding Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, gives students the opportunity to develop a fully formed business plan whilst the
Level 3 qualification, a BTEC Diploma in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship, lets students develop their learning through setting up and running their own microbusiness. They will learn how to monitor company performance, in particular newly started companies, and how to respond to unforeseen changes; how to assess the potential growth of their business and the skills required to expand it as well as gaining experience of a management role. By the end of their time with the NEA, students should have a fully formed business plan that has, or is ready for, realistic financial investment.
