How much of the Level 3 BTEC business diploma is coursework?

I did business at A-level and found it hard but I might manage the course if it's mainly coursework.

Also, do you have to do case studies? I hated those!

Have you thought of looking up the specification on the website?
It also has a detailed overview of all the modules and the course content.

Good job i checked.

3 units of 9 are externally assessed by either exam or task. rest plus any optional are just coursework.

Yeah I had a look it just doesn't really say, thanks
for the link, are all the business level 3 BTECs across
the country Pearson or it could it be different?

What do you think my overall grade would be if I got
distinctions in coursework and failed the exams?

I'll try and have a chat with the tutors too.

1. It does say. I gave you the link. look at the module specification.
2. Pearson run BTEC. You said Business and that was Business I linked. Talk to your teacher about the exact specification.
3. Your result would be a fail because you have to pass all modules. A pass grade is the lowest you can get and is equivalent to between a grade E and D.

No I just meant it doesn't really say on my college.
