Regardless of your profession, once you become a business owner or manager you enter a new world where basic knowledge of topics such as accounting, procurement, human resource management, business continuity planning, quality assurance, and regulatory obligations becomes critical. Even though you may have professional assistance in these areas, you must have this basic knowledge to be successful.
This course takes a unique approach to providing essential business knowledge through short video tutorials combined with readings from our guides, practice exercises, followed by questions and answers through quizzes.
This course is divided into five modules: Accounting and Finance, Contracting and Procurement, Human Resource Management, Business Continuity, and Regulatory Obligations.
As part of this package, we have enclosed a number of learning resources such as our Forward Looking Guides: Select for Success - Hiring and retaining the right employee, What's the plan - An introduction to business continuity planning, and Lead by example - Leadership perspective from those who have led. These resources are integral to this course therefore must be considered as part of it.
As a bonus, we have enclosed a copy of the first of our Business Blunders series of anecdotal stories: The Beancounter - The business student's guide to the real world. Here you will read stories from Isaac, a retired accountant who becomes a bar tender on a Caribbean Island, where he and his guests share true informative business stories which are also entertaining.
Thank you for choosing Forward Looking Solutions as your learning facilitator! We guarantee, you won't be disappointed!
Note: This course is not about NFT, Crypto Currency, Trading, or social media growth; it is about owing and operating a business.
