The visit provided students with a real-life business to base their controlled assessment exam on. The main objective for our students was to explore a successful enterprise, understand the contributions of entrepreneurs and how businesses cope with external factors and challenges.

Students took the opportunity to tour the venue and experience the activities and services that RollaCity provide to consumers; as well as the operational management required to run the enterprise. Students also participated in a Q&A session with the manager before taking to the rink to skate. In order to make a full judgement about the success of the enterprise, the day ended with students sampling the food and drink on offer.
