Higher National Certificate in Business (HNC)
Business activity is fundamental and universal to our everyday lives. Business organisations
may differ in many ways, depending on the industry in which they operate globally, but they
do share one common feature: the transformation of inputs into outputs. This transformation
process takes place against a background of external influences that impact on business
activity. The external environment in which business organisations operate is dynamic,
complex, volatile and interactive.
The aim of this unit is to give students background knowledge and understanding of
business, of the functions of an organisation and of the wider business environments in
which organisations operate. Students will examine the different types of organisations
(including for profit and not for profit), their size and scope (for instance micro,
SME, transnational and global) and how they operate. Students will explore the
relationships that organisations have with their various stakeholders and how the wider
external environments influence and shape business decision making.
The knowledge, understanding and skill sets that students gain in this unit will help
them to have an insight into different business functions, which will support them with
further study, support the development of analytical thinking and the application of key
analytical tools used throughout business planning, and enable them to choose their
preferred areas of specialism in future studies and in their professional career.

Large-, medium- and small businesses that operate globally, internationally or locally have
at least one thing in common – they all use marketing to influence us to engage with their
products and/or services. Whether this means becoming a loyal customer buying a product and
service or donating to a charity, organisations use a range of marketing techniques and
tools to inform and influence us.
This unit is designed to introduce students to the dynamic world of the marketing sector
and the wealth of exciting career opportunities available to support their decision
making in their career choices. Students will have the opportunity to learn about the
competencies and behaviours required by employers to work in the marketing sector. They
will be introduced to the key principles of marketing, enabling them to develop a
marketing plan and to employ elements of the marketing mix to achieve results. They will
study the underpinning theories and frameworks of marketing while relating them to
real-world examples, including products/services that they encounter in their daily
lives.
The knowledge, understanding and skill sets that students will gain on successfully
completing this unit will enhance their career opportunities; whether this is setting up
their own business or employment in an organisation.

People are the lifeblood of any organisation and the ability to attract, recruit and retain
talented staff is critical to the success of any organisation, whether in business, in
voluntary organisations or in government. Human Resource Management (HRM) provides
organisations with the principles, knowledge and behaviours to focus people-management
activities on supporting and enhancing organisational success and performance.
This unit will give students the knowledge and skills associated with Human Resource (HR)
occupational roles at either a generalist level, for example HR Assistant/HR
Advisor/Business Partner, or more specialist roles in areas such as recruitment, talent
acquisition and performance and reward management. Students will explore the nature and
scope of HRM and the organisational context of people management, including recruitment and
retention, training and development, reward systems, employment relations and associated
legislative frameworks.
The aim of the unit is to enable students to understand and be able to apply principles
of effective HRM in order to enhance sustainable organisational
performance and contribute to organisational success, holding business outcomes and
people outcomes in equal balance. Students will apply HR practices in a workrelated
context, utilising their knowledge and practising skills and behaviours in relevant
professional areas, including resourcing, talent planning and recruitment,
learning and development and employee engagement.
On completion of the unit, students will understand the purpose and scope of HRM
activities. They will be able to apply a range of people-management skills to enhance
the performance of an organisation by finding solutions to people-related problems.

The ability to lead and manage effectively is highly sought after by industry, as employers
seek to produce and develop managers who can motivate, enthuse and build respect throughout
their workforce. The hard and soft skills required by leaders and managers are frequently
highlighted by employers as skills gaps in recruitment. Developing these skills will help
students to meet career aspirations in leadership and management.
The aim of this unit is to help students to understand the difference between the
function of a manager and the role of a leader. Students will consider the
characteristics, behaviours and traits that support effective management and leadership.
Students will learn about the theories that have shaped the understanding of leadership
and management and how these have provided a guide to action for managers and leaders
who want to secure success for their businesses. Students will look at leadership
styles, how and why they are used and the extent to which they are effective.
This unit also gives students an understanding of motivational strategies. They will
develop motivational strategies covering intrinsic and extrinsic aspects of motivation.
Finally, students will evaluate the importance of managing performance in achieving
continuous improvement.

business project that meets appropriate business aims and objectives.
On successful completion of this unit, students will have the confidence to engage in
decision making, problem solving and research activities using project-management
skills. They will have the fundamental knowledge and skills to enable them to
investigate and examine relevant business concepts in a work-related context, determine
appropriate outcomes, decisions or solutions and present evidence to various
stakeholders in an acceptable and understandable format.
