AS Student Book AQA


"A topic on a double side is just right, as some times students can be daunted by loads of pages to go through… The language used is easy to follow, along with incorporating the required business language in an accessible manner… [There are] suggestions on further research which will be encouraging for the more independent students who need that further challenge. It is also good for other students as it provides structured guidance on what the next step could be." - Ann Bennett, Teacher review, September 08


“I like the look of [the book] - it's got a very student friendly layout and is well written and readable.” - TES Business Studies Forum, October 08


“It's got a great range of case studies and I think the theory is really well explained and it follows the spec closely. I totally agree that students will love the layout. It definitely gives us serious food for thought.” - TES Business Studies Forum, October 08
