Short courses
Our range of short courses has been designed for busy professionals who want to get an overview into different business areas, without committing to studying a full programme (generally each programme lasts anything between half a day to two days).
They allow non-specialists to broaden their understanding of key business skills such as statistics or financial management, or start to understand key issues within areas such as HR, sales or marketing.
