I think this course prepares me well for continuing my studies in university as it has a lot of analytical and evaluative elements in it
I have particularly liked the personal finance section of the course as I have found that really relevant and has helped prepare my to future manage my finances
I like the more hands on approach of BTEC than A level as I find it more realistic and linked to the business world
