A key requirement for future progression and employment is a good understanding and application of knowledge and skills in both English and maths. Learners who are enrolled on this programme of study will be provided with opportunities to continue to use the skills they gained previously whilst achieving grade 4 in both GCSE English Language and Maths, and to apply their understanding to business scenarios.

At SGS, we aim to provide learners with the skills required to progress into further study and training or employment upon completion of their chosen programme of study. Key attributes required by employers are that individuals be enthusiastic, motivated, presentable (in some instances in company uniform), organised, articulate, able to think 'outside the box', business-like and enterprising, and that they have a 'can-do' attitude. At SGS, we work with you on all these areas throughout the duration of your programme of study, and your tutor(s) will provide feedback on progress made, as well as any areas for future development.

Learners will need to possess four GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including both English Language and Maths.
