Essential Business Award

Diploma Outline

Essential Business Principles 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.

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.

The course lasts 60 hours – 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. Core subject areas covered include:

• Introduction to Business Structure and Law

• Understanding Business Accounts

• Microsoft Excel

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 have voted Pitman Training to be the top independent training brand, through achieving Business Superbrand status.
