Our Business - Level 2 study programme is designed to improve your employability skills, whilst promoting and enhancing your creativity, analytical thinking, research skills, and effective communication skills.
At West London College, you'll gain the BTEC Level 2 Extended Certificate in Business, alongside English and maths to help you achieve a grade 4 (or higher) in both subjects.

Your assessments are designed to match what you’ve learned. All your work will be marked by your tutors, giving you a chance to show off your skills in real-world situations.
