This business text matches the mandatory content and core skills required by the 1995 GNVQ Advanced standards. All the information is arranged in GNVQ modular order. A student guide explains the GNVQ scheme and how students achieve a GNVQ Advanced Business Award. Up-to-date case studies allow students the opportunity to collect evidence for their portfolios, and reading lists at the end of chapters help them to develop their own interests. Each section contains two end-of-unit tests for revision practice, and core skills are integrated throughout the book, giving students an opportunity to achieve coverage of the skills during the programme. A section on business skills shows how core skills relate to the award, and there are contact addresses for students' own research.
