Resources designed to support learners of the 2010 BTEC Level 2 First Business specification*. 

  • Covering the full Diploma with all mandatory and a wide selection of optional units for the 2010 specification covered, and packed with in-book features to help students achieve their potential. 
  • WorkSpace case studies take your learners into the real world of work, showing them how they can apply their knowledge in a real-life context.

* From 2012, Pearson’s BTEC First qualifications have been under re-development, so schools and colleges could be teaching the existing 2010 specification or the new next generation 2012-2013 specification. There are different Student Books to support each specification. If learners are unsure, they should check with their teacher or tutor.
