NCEA Level 2 Business Studies focuses on supporting sustainability in businesses and the progression from a small business environment to a large business environment. 

The course offers students an insight into the skills and necessities required for running a business with multiple staff members and encourages students to engage with established business owners within the community. Students will be required to investigate, reflect and report on a large business in New Zealand.

- The application of motivational theories in businesses,
- The internal features of a large business in New Zealand (including management structures, centralisation practices, culture and production),
- Market research strategies and business planning and
- Carrying out, reviewing and refining a business activity. 

*Students can opt in to participate in the nationally run Young Enterprise Scheme to win scholarships, travel and monetary prizes.
