INTRODUCTION

From finance and HR, to digital marketing and entrepreneurship, there is no denying that the business sector is digitally-focused, versatile and vital to society. Business qualifications encompass a broad selection of essential topics, offering transferable skills such as leadership, problem-solving and communication. They require commitment, passion and most of all the determination to succeed.

What will I do

Whether you’ve got your sights set on becoming the CEO of your own business or want to work for a local employer, this course will give you a broad understanding of business so that you can progress onto the right path for you. Learning from industry experienced tutors, you will explore topics such as marketing, accounting, human resources, business law and communication, giving you a well-rounded set of skills and knowledge.

Our Business Advanced Course is taught by teachers with real industry experience. You will have tutorials and carry out work experience (at least two days a week), enabling you to experience the industry first hand and prepare for your next steps.
