Business and management skills

Business and management online and classroom courses

These short and intensive professional development courses are for managers, entrepreneurs, scientists, engineers and anyone working in high-tech companies and organisations.

Our courses are for those at the beginning of their managerial career, those who are relatively new to managerial roles and those in middle-management roles in companies and organisations of all sizes, from SMEs through to global multinationals.

They are also aimed at entrepreneurs and individuals seeking to develop their knowledge and skills across a broad range of business subjects.
