BASE provides an opportunity for your students to experience the world of business and accountancy while competing with schools across the country for incredible prizes. The competition challenges students to apply the knowledge they've learnt at school to realistic business situations, helping them boost their employability skills for the next stage of their career, whether that’s university, an apprenticeship or employment.
