The AQA specification fits nicely into ten units. Units 1–6 are taught in the first year of A-level and cover the standard aspects of finance, marketing, operations and people, along with the introductory unit ‘What is business?’ and a greater emphasis on management/leadership. These six units will form the basis of the AS exam, which you may or may not take at the end of year 12 (see below).
Units 7–10 are studied in year 13. They build on the initial six units and bring in a greater focus on how to make strategic decisions based on what you have previously learnt, as well as developing your understanding of the subject even further. With only four units to cover in year 13, this gives you time to review and revise all of the previous content ready for your final A-level exams, which can ask you about anything from the whole specification.
