ACADEMIC PATHWAY

ATHE LEVEL 4 : EXTENDED DIPLOMA IN BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT

Both the ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma in Business and Management 2018 and the previous 2012 qualification are 120-credit Ofqual regulated qualifications that are the equivalent level to the first year of a bachelor’s degree. We revised our 2012 qualification this year in order to add grade boundaries and new qualification pathways, including our GenEd pathway. Further information is offered on this below.

The ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma in Business and Management 2018 has been designed for learners who wish to develop the skills and knowledge required for roles in junior management. They have also been developed with progression in mind and enable learners to continue on to a range of Bachelor’s degrees. The addition of our GenEd pathway, if taken in combination with the ATHE Level 5 Extended Diploma in Business and Management and the ATHE Level 6 Extended Diploma in Management, allows the learner to progress onto a Bachelor’s degree in the USA at Northwood University in Michigan. A range of specific units are required in order to meet the criteria.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

Entry to the qualification will be through a centre interview, and learners will be expected to hold the following:

• Age: 16 +;

• 5 or more GCSEs at grades 4 to 9 (C and above);

• other related level 2 subjects;

• other equivalent international qualifications.
