Business Management
HNC and HND Qaulification

Management is the coordination and administration of tasks to achieve a goal. Such administration activities include setting the organization’s strategy and coordinating the efforts of staff to accomplish these objectives through the application of available resources. Management can also refer to the seniority structure of staff members within an organization.
To be an effective manager, you’ll need to develop a set of skills, including planning, communication, organization and leadership. You will also need extensive knowledge of the company’s goals and how to direct employees, sales and other operations to accomplish them.
In general, there are five basic functions of a manager:

1. Setting objectives
2. Organizing
3. Motivating the team
4. Devising systems of measurement
5. Developing people

As a business manager, you are given the major responsibility of managing administrative tasks for a business. A company may expect you to assist with its marketing program. A company may also want you to perform a budget analysis in order to find out ways that the company can cut costs. You should have an astute understanding of accounting, marketing and administrative procedures that are required in order to run a business.

Entry requirements and admissions

Pearson does not set formal entry requirements for our qualifications. But as a center, you are responsible for making sure that the students you recruit have a reasonable chance of success on the program.
Students who have recently been in education are likely to need:

• A BTEC Level 3 qualification in Business
• A GCE Advanced Level profile that demonstrates strong performance in a relevant subject or adequate performance in more than one GCE subject. This profile is likely to be supported by GCSE grades at A* to C (or equivalent) and/or 9 to 4 (or equivalent) in subjects such as maths and English
• Other related Level 3 qualifications
• An Access to Higher Education Diploma from an approved further education institution
• Relevant work experience, or
• An international equivalent to the above qualifications.

Our Recognition of Prior Learning policy means that students’ previous learning and experience can be taken into account and they may be awarded certain qualifications or units of a qualification based on that learning or experience. Please see section 9 for more information.

English language requirements

Pearson's mission is to help people make more of their lives through learning. To assist centers to recruit students who have the skills to benefit from undertaking a Higher National program of study, we are providing the following clarification regarding the English language admission requirements when offering places to applicants.
All centers delivering Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications in English must ensure that each applicant can demonstrate their capability to learn and be assessed at the relevant level in English.
Students applying for a Pearson BTEC Higher National qualification that is taught and assessed completely in English will need a certain level of English language skills.
Before accepting students onto a program, you must make sure that those who are non-native English speakers and who have not carried out their final two years of schooling in English can demonstrate ability at a standard equivalent to:

• Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) level B2
• PTE Academic 51, or
• IELTS 5.5 (reading and writing must be at 5.5).

Students who have completed a Pearson BTEC Higher National qualification delivered partly or completely in another language but assessed in English will need to demonstrate ability in English to the standard above but at the end of the program.
It is up to you to decide what proof of ability students will need to provide.
