Level 3 Btech Business

I heard level 3 btech business is just course work which is meant to be easier, I’m confused on how it works exactly and how people manage using ChatGPT to get distinctions does anyone know how?

It is mostly coursework but depending on the size of the course (Certificate, Extended Cert, Diploma, Ext Diploma) you will have 1,2,3 or 4 exams over two years, The assessors and external Pearson verifiers use software to catch learners using ChatGPT and / or copying other peoples work so don't risk it (if caught plagiarising you will be disqualified and will not receive a certificate). Look at the specification to see which exams are relevant; https://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/btec-nationals/business-2016.html

So in the level 3 btech there will be an exam we have to do in like a private room or something? Or is all the work we have to do done in our own time? and also are you saying it is possible to get away with AI?

See the link I gave for the specification. If you are doing the Ext Dip then there are 4 exams (normally 2 each year). They are proper Exams (you will get a Pre release paper with information to research in advance, but then for Part B they are exams). The procedure is that you will be in a PC room with invigilators. The PCs are set as exam computers so have no internet / no access to personal folders. No, you cannot get away with AI as both coursework units and exams are checked for plagiarism.
