What is the main difference between A Level Business and BTEC Level 3 Business please
Maybe that a level is all exam usually and the btec is half coursework. I dont take either but this could be a good difference as it shows that the btec is more applied than the a level option.

Thank you. I just wondered on the actually courses themselves. Tried looking it up but not really achieving anything. i.e how they differ in regard to what you do.

A level is more theoretical and btec more applied in terms of content. Attached are the course content for each (may differ between boards a little in order or some topics but this is broadly what you’re looking at 🙂 )
