- the confidence to put it all into action.
Over the duration of the course you'll learn what it takes to make a business start-up successful, how to market your ideas, the legal and financial considerations and how to develop a business plan.
We'll host online learning as well as classroom sessions and you'll have access to the lounge area at PROTO to help build that all important network.
At the end of the course all students will be invited to pitch their business ideas to a panel of experts, Dragons Den style.
