Level 3 Commerce
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Miss S. Grant.
Students in this course are able to choose standards from two subjects:
Accounting and Business Studies.
The Accounting units in this course include the preparation of financial statements for a company, processing of transactions for a partnership and a manufacturing business, and Cost Analysis for a Manufacturing business.
If you are intending for this to be a University approved subject, you must complete an External as there are only 13 Internal credits available in this course.
Students can also select to do Business Studies units rather than Accounting, or can do a mixture of both, but if this subject is needed for University Entrance, they will need to complete 14 standards in only one subject.
If selecting Business Studies the two standards will account for 15 credits, which will give you UE.
