Open Study College

This qualification is designed to give you the tools to successfully and confidently launch a new business.

An innovative idea might not be sufficient to ensure the success of a new venture.  Any new business should be underpinned by thorough research, planning and business know-how.  This course develops your ability to reduce risk and improve the probability of success for a business start-up. 

Our programme is designed to be run as a short course that will help budding entrepreneurs create a robust business plan and start their new enterprise. The course develops the ability to research, plan, budget and reduce risk to ensure a business is successful. On successful completion of the qualification you will have a viable business plan. With this plan you can seek investment, successfully launch your business and run it competently once trading begins.

This course can only be taken via an accredited ABE study centre.
