Edexcel GCSE Business Unit 1 - Introduction to Small Business: Digital Course Companion

Jim Riley

10th April 2009

We’re hard at work on a new suite of resources to support the new Edexcel GCSE Business units (for first teaching in September 2009). Out first will be our digital Course Companion - the cost-effective and VLE-friendly replacement for those costly and environmentally-unfriendly textbooks…

The Course Companion for Edexcel GCSE Business Unit 1 (Introduction to Small Business) provides a comprehensive support for both teachers and students taking the new unit. It includes:

- Key topic notes that map precisely the Edexcel GCSE Business Unit 1 specification
- Mini case studies, based on real small businesses (not made-up ones like those in the new textbooks!)
- Interactive key term glossaries and examples
- Quizzes to test understanding of key topics and terms
- Live links to a fantastic series of suitable web sites for the unit

The Course Companion is designed to save your department money as well as provide an outstanding teaching and student resource. Providing comparative materials from an alternative publisher to a cohort of 50 new students in September 09 would cost well over £1,000. With departmental budgets under pressure like never before, we’ve priced the entire Course Companion package at just £75 for a whole school network licence. You can copy the materials to student pen drives, host it on the school VLE or distribute it topic by topic. You also get the resource in our super Interactive format.

You can pre-order the Edexcel GCSE Business Unit 1 Course Companion now from here
