Course summary

You are likely to work for a business at some point in the future unless you decide to run your own. Either way, knowing how businesses operate can be crucial in helping to manage one – regardless of what department you work in. Businesses have to consider a variety of these issues, including many more. Therefore, it is no wonder that business degrees and higher-level apprenticeships have become one of the most popular courses because everyone is talking BUSINESS, so come and join us! IS THIS COURSE FOR ME? We start by looking at what is necessary to start up a small business, then consider the financial, marketing, human resources, and operational aspects of running a business, and finally consider the issues facing businesses in the real world.
