BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS

One of the most important elements in any company is proper communication. This applies within the business between employees and outside of the company when dealing with clients or suppliers. Even if you aren’t in management or HR, taking a course like the Human Resource Management options from Damelin or SACOB could help you to improve the way you interact with colleagues. Conflict management is also an important tool to have if you want to get ahead in the business world. REGENT Business School offers short courses in this.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

A great way to get a leg up in your career is to show your employers that you can take on more responsibility. Project management and operations management courses are the perfect way to get the skills you need for a promotion or the chance to do more within your company. Oxbridge Academy, Milpark Education and Damelin all offer recognised courses that can be done in your own time while you continue to work.

COMPUTER SKILLS

It’s safe to say that the modern world pretty much wouldn’t run without computers.

The Business School at Varsity College offers an introductory course to computers, and Damelin has several courses that cover how to use basic programmes like Microsoft Word and Excel.

For people who already have a firm grasp on the basics, there are numerous courses out there that can teach you about more complex subjects. Learning to programme can give you a big advantage in the job market. Take a look at this course on JavaScript from Damelin.Woman in office, smiling while working on a laptop
