Student Book AQA


"...These books provide useful subject content information which can be used as either an introduction to a topic or as reinforcement, but also real-life case studies which can be used as stimulus material or as opportunities for independent investigation. These are textbooks which can be used for a mixed range of abilities…The books also claim that they are designed to help guide students through the courses “in a logical and motivational way” and I do feel that these claims are valid. I am sure that these books would engage students and allow them to secure understanding and progress in their studies.” - Jo Bentham, Teaching Economics and Business magazine, February 09


Student Book AQA (Second Edition)


"The books are very effective, and at £16.99 they are value for money. I like the format and style and there is excellent coverage of real businesses, with topical business news and current events and developments… it seems safe to say that [teachers] should definitely consider buying copies of the new editions for the new course, assuming that they embody the same fine qualities.” - Jo Bentham, Teaching Economics and Business magazine, February 09
