Skills for Work: Business Finance
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
Business finance is a Skills for Work unit on how businesses raise, spend, invest and save money, applied in a real enterprise activity such as a tuck shop, cake sale or fundraising stall. It is one 20 hour unit that learners combine with others into a Skills for Work, or Skills for Life and Work, Award, Certificate or Diploma, from Entry 1 to Level 2. The assessment criteria ask for budgets and records of income and costs but do not insist on a computer. Digital work sits in the overview and guidance: spreadsheets or finance apps for budgets, cash flow and break-even, charts, online price research and presentations.

Researching prices online for best value
A suggested Level 1 and Level 2 activity is to research prices online and in store, choose the best value and record it in a finance log. It feeds the criteria on making spending decisions from financial information, but online research itself is only suggested.

Da gwybod
- Unit codes are S653E1, S653E2, S653E3, S653L1 and S653L2, and the unit is 20 GLH in the Skills for Work suite (Unit overview, page 3).
- An enterprise activity is compulsory: "To achieve this unit, learners must take part in an enterprise activity." (Unit overview, page 3).
- No special kit is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (Resources required for assessment, page 15). Spreadsheets and apps help but are not required by any criterion.
- Evidence does not have to be written or on paper. The pack lists a "digital portfolio compiling evidence of planning, decisions, financial tracking and reflections" (page 13), and the specification says the portfolio "is not limited to paper-based materials" and accepts "photographic evidence" and "video/audio recordings" (Section 4.1, page 18).
- Extended written work is only needed where appropriate; evidence may be "verbal, written, practical or visual", and judgements should not focus on "spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (Sources of evidence, page 13).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory"; teachers may use, adapt or replace them (Section 4.1, page 18).
- AI misuse is malpractice, including "Using AI to complete parts of the assessment so that the work does not reflect the learner's own work, analysis, evaluation or calculations." Use of AI tools must be acknowledged (Section 4.6, page 21).
- Learners can complete the unit at several levels, but "only the highest level of the unit achieved will count towards the GLH" (Section 2.2, page 10).
