Essential Business Award
Diploma Outline
Our Essential Business Award is one of our range of mini-Diplomas.
Our Essential Business Award has been created for people who need to understand the legal structures and financial mechanics of business. As Microsoft Excel is used extensively in finance administration, this course will also give you the knowledge and confidence to use spreadsheets to a good working standard.
You can start when you like and our flexible learning system means you can fit your studying around your existing work and home commitments. There will also be a course advisor on hand to help should you need additional support.
- Flexible training which fits around your commitments
- Support on hand from our friendly course advisors
- Get the skills in demand by employers
Get the Pitman Advantage™
The course has been designed particularly for those with work experience, but not necessarily in a commercial office setting – for example from the retail and service industries or the public sector.
Having completed this course, you can be confident that prospective employers will have evidence that you have a practical understanding of business structure and law as well as business accounts, which other candidates may not possess. It is also helpful for individuals who may be considering setting up their own business.
On completing the course, you will have earned a highly regarded Pitman Training Award – a ‘mini-diploma’, which will help your CV stand out from the rest. This is because Pitman Training is highly regarded by employers; yet again top business professionals in the UK have voted Pitman Training to be the UK’s top independent training brand, through achieving Business Superbrand status.
Core subject areas covered include:
- Introduction to Business Structure and Law
- Understanding Business Accounts
- Microsoft Excel OR Excel Expert
The guideline learning time for the Essential Business Award is: –
- 60 hours flexi study or 2 weeks full-time*
*full-time is based on approx. 20-30 hours a week.
Our Essential Business Award is part of our distance learning range – which can be accessed online via our distance learning portal.
