GCSE Business
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
GCSE Business asks learners to research a real local business and an entrepreneurial idea, collect data with questionnaires, present it in graphs and charts, and work out costs, profit and a cash flow forecast, with both NEA reports submitted digitally. The examined units test understanding of business technology, digital marketing and intellectual property rather than software skills. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is confident spreadsheet use: turning survey results into charts and building simple financial models with formulae.

Understanding copyright and intellectual property
Learners must understand intellectual property law, including copyright, patents and trademarks, as a legal factor affecting businesses. This links directly to using and protecting digital content such as logos, images and music.

Rwy'n gallu deall hawlfraint ac esbonio elfennau cyfreithiol a moesegol parchu gwaith creadigol, e.e. ystyried goblygiadau moesegol a chyfreithiol lladrad a llên-ladrad a gwybod bod hynny'n anghyfrifol ac yn amharchus, ac rwy'n gallu defnyddio fy nealltwriaeth o’r rheolau a’r rheoliadau mewn gwahanol senarios.
Rwy'n gallu ymddwyn yn gyfrifol fel curadur a defnyddiwr gwaith creadigol, e.e. ystyried penderfyniadau y mae’r crewyr yn eu gwneud wrth arfer eu hawliau a’u cyfrifoldebau creadigol, gan ystyried materion moesegol, bywyd go iawn.

Da gwybod
- Typing is optional but submission is digital: for Unit 2 and Unit 4, 'Assessments must be submitted digitally (they may be hand written and scanned, or completed digitally)' (pages 40 and 41).
- The specification names no software, spreadsheets or calculators. Financial skills such as 'calculate and interpret a cashflow forecast' (Unit 3, page 30) are assessed in a written examination, so pupils also need to work these by hand.
- Online contact with businesses is optional and not assessed: 'engage in out of classroom learning (either in person or online)' is listed among learning experiences that 'will not be directly assessed' (page 38).
- Appendix A (page 46) maps Digital Competence Producing and Data and Computational Thinking to Units 2 and 4, Citizenship to Unit 3 only, and Interacting and Collaborating to no unit.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Questionnaire design, charts and digital NEA submission match the demand in GCSE Social Studies, and the financial calculations overlap with Mathematics, so a shared KS3 routine of Forms to Excel to Word would serve all three.
