This is a compulsory course for Year 11 pupils. It is a statutory requirement that Enterprise Education should be included in the work related learning experience.
The Certificate in Enterprise & Employability is assessed and awarded at Level 1 and Level 2 of the National Qualification Framework.
Level 1 is equivalent to GCSE grades D-G whilst a certificate at Level 2 is equivalent to GCSE grades A*-C.

- enterprise capability;
- the enterprise process and how it can be applied in different contexts;
- the impact and possibilities of enterprise using the World Wide Web;
