There are some good courses out there which combine
Business/ICT in various ways. Have a look at the new
OCR National Award in Business/IT at Level 1:
http://www.ocr.org.uk/OCR/WebSite/docroot/qualifications/qualificationhome/showQualification.do?qual_oid=16174&site=OCR&oid=16174&server=PRODUKTION
Otherwise, the advice to integrate Business/ICT
through the curriculum is very sound. Have a look at
the website of Toll Bar School -
http://www.tollbarbec.net to get an idea of what one
school is doing.
