Open Is this course right for me?

Have you ever had an idea for a new business or an idea to make a current business better? Although the idea may be good, being able to present your idea to other people is key to the success of taking it forward. You will develop skills to create a spreadsheet that solves problems and displays numeric and non-numeric information by applying suitable tools and techniques for presentations and business plans. You will also receive support with planning your next education or employment path. Whilst maths and English will be appropriately supported you will need a basic level of English.
As part of the first session, we ask learners to complete a short English and basic numeracy assessment, as you will be building a portfolio over the weeks and will need good understanding to complete the written work. You will be supported throughout the course by your tutor and other learners.
