CAREER READY
THE INTERNATIONAL BTEC DIPLOMA IN BUSINESS
The International BTEC Diploma in Business gives students the chance to learn by doing. Your child won’t just study business theory; they’ll apply it to real-world projects in marketing, logistics, and entrepreneurship, gaining the confidence and skills they’ll carry into university or the workplace.
At Level 3, the BTEC is equivalent to two A-levels and opens doors to university, polytechnics, or a direct career path. At Level 2, it’s the ideal first step for students starting their business journey, with the option to progress to Level 3 or transition into work. For added flexibility, students can even combine the BTEC with IB subjects.
Alongside their BTEC, students further develop transferable skills which include Digital Skills (ICDL), Presentation and Performing Arts Skills (LAMDA), PE, and Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS).
With a focus on teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, the BTEC equips your child with the practical skills and mindset to thrive beyond school. Combined with IB courses, it offers a balanced route to future success.

One lesson Hanayo will carry with her beyond Dover Court is the importance of staying true to her values:
"One value I will carry with me from my years at DCIS is the importance of excellence with integrity. I have learned that success is not just about achieving good results, but about doing so with honesty and consistency, even when no one is watching."

They made me feel welcome from day one, so I could focus on learning rather than worrying. Being given all of that support, it was impossible not to find my stride. They made thriving feel like the natural next step."
