Course Description:
If you are interested in developing your skills and knowledge within the fast-paced world of retail, and be prepared to see the world from a new angle, then this may be right for you. This YA provides a unique insight into the retail industry – the largest private sector employer in the UK. It is very diverse and ranges from the smallest corner shop, market trader or supermarket to the largest department store or internet-based retailer. You will learn about:

 

• How a variety of retail services function

• The different methods used by retail organisations to inform customers about products

• Fashion retailing – the selling of clothing, footwear and accessories

• The wide variety of opportunities and career pathways in the retail sector.

The projects and assignments you will undertake are based on realistic workplace situations, activities and demands, and are designed to develop your skills and understanding of the retail sector. The course will give you a BTEC First Diploma in Retail (equivalent to four GCSEs at grades A*-C), and 50 days of work-related learning, giving you a head start in the sector. Each YA will be delivered by City College Norwich and other partners to make use of the best specialist facilities and staff. Real work experience – personalised to each student’s aspirations and interests – is integrated into the programme. You will be assessed by a variety of assessment methods, including case studies, assignments, practical assessments and projects.
