The best project we’ve done was the enterprise competition. We had to set up a real business and run it, and make the most profit possible. It was at the end of our course, so we could take everything that we’d learnt and put it into practice in a real business. We had to do everything ourselves, from thinking of an idea to sourcing products and setting a pricing strategy and then running the company as a team.
Malachi
Level 3 Enterprise & Entrepreneurship
We study in a lot of detail, and we do a lot of case studies of real-life businesses so that we can see genuine examples of what we’re learning. We took part in a competition where we set up and ran our own businesses. I was the finance director, so I was preparing financial statements, working out cash flow and doing forecasting. It was really interesting and very rewarding.
Claudio
Level 3 Enterprise & Entrepreneurship
We’re taught to back up our ideas with examples and case studies from real businesses, which helps us to apply the concepts to the real world, and that’s a great skill for our careers. The teaching is great, and it helps that we’re taught by people who work in the industry, so they can share their ideas and experience. Studying at Nescot has given me so much knowledge and experience of how businesses work, but it’s also given me a lot of confidence in myself and my ideas.

Level 3 Enterprise & Entrepreneurship
The best part was the Young Enterprise project, where we set up a business and ran it ourselves. It was a great opportunity to put what we’d learnt into practice. I’m going to the University of East London next year to study Law, and then I’ll train as a solicitor specialising in equality in the workplace.
