We offer Edexcel accredited BTEC courses at Level 2 and Level 3 in Enterprise & Entrepreneurship (Business).

The Peter Jones Enterprise Academy was founded in 2009 by entrepreneur and star of Dragons’ Den, Peter Jones CBE, with a view to encourage more entrepreneurial activity in the UK based on a philosophy of ‘learning by doing’. The Sheffield College is the largest Peter Jones Enterprise Academy in the UK, with over 30 academies nationwide.

The Peter Jones Enterprise Academy set out to be a catalyst for cultural change by bringing the boardroom into the classroom. The Academy aims to equip future generations to achieve their full potential, with students progressing to Higher Education, employment or business start-up.

At the Sheffield College, students develop their own business ideas as part of their course. We provide a complete support package, linking them with businesses and organisations relevant to their business plans; students are given the freedom and flexibility to take their business ideas as far as they want to.

Allowing the students to have the opportunity to interact with business experts and industry leaders is what sets our courses apart and allows our young entrepreneurs to stand out from the crowd. We have a nationwide network of Business Enterprise Managers (BEMs) who work with the Peter Jones Foundation and within their individual Academies to continually develop the range of businesses that they work with.

Businesses set live projects for students, provide work placements, run workshops, guest speaker sessions and mentoring.
