Updated on: 22/03/2024 Entrepreneurs explore potential business opportunities, select viable business ideas, prepare appropriate business plans and pitch these to potential investors. This unit will teach you how to carry out these steps which are critical to the development of new businesses. This unit focuses upon pitching a new business idea for a micro-business – a business employing less than 10 people. This could be a business you want to start up yourself or in partnership with others. In this unit, you will investigate a potential micro-business idea and outline a business plan. You will present your business plan to potential investors with a view to securing appropriate funding. It is important that you are able to recognise what should be included in a pitch and how the process of idea formulation, selection, planning and presentation should be managed in order to secure funding. This unit will develop the skills needed if you decide to set up your own business, or if you want to work in or study further a sector or area that needs entrepreneurial or innovative skills.

Updated on: 29-04-2024 Relational databases are widely used to manage and process data to support, for example business processes and our social lives. From the smallest in-house systems to stock control systems for large multinational online retailers, databases are repositories of information that are a significant part of organisational operating requirements. You will examine the structure of data and its origins, and how an efficient data design follows through to an effective and useful database. You will examine a given scenario and develop an effective design solution to produce a database system. You will then test your solution to ensure that it works correctly. Finally, you will evaluate each stage of the development process and the effectiveness of your database solution. To complete the assessment tasks in this unit, you will need to draw on your learning from across your programme. The skills you gain in this unit support progression to IT-related, higher-education courses and to employment in a role that requires computing-related expertise.

Updated on: 11-09-2024 The use of engineering processes is integral to the manufacture of engineered products and the delivery of engineering services. Thousands of engineering processes are used in the manufacture and service of a complex product such as an aeroplane. To ensure that these engineering processes can be planned and carried out safely and effectively, engineers must be able to work together to get the job done. It is for this reason that so many engineering companies focus time and effort on understanding engineering processes and developing teamwork. In this unit, you will examine common engineering processes, including health and safety legislation, regulations that apply to these processes and how individual and team performance can be affected by human factors. You will learn the principles of another important process, engineering drawing, and develop two-dimensional (2D) computeraided drawing skills while producing orthographic projections and circuit diagrams. Finally, you will work as a team member and team leader to apply a range of practical engineering processes to manufacture a batch of an engineered product or to safely deliver a batch of an engineering service. To complete the assessment task within this unit, you will need to draw on your learning from across your programme. It is important that engineers understand how engineering processes are used to safely transform ideas and materials into products and services, and how critical it is to be able to work as a valuable member of an effective team or as a team leader. This unit will enable you to apply the knowledge and understanding you gained in Unit 1: Mechanical Principles and Unit 57: Electrical and Electronic Principles. The unit will help to prepare you for an engineering traineeship, a higher education engineering degree or a technicianlevel role in a wide range of specialist engineering areas.
