Course description
Enterprise and Entrepreneurship
With the changing trends in employment and the lack of job security, many people are now choosing to become self-employed and start up their own enterprise.
Enterprise is important because it is the creation of new ventures that drive the economy, employment, growth and innovation across the UK. Entrepreneurs are those who take that first brave step, identify an opportunity and start their own enterprise. They have a clear vision and the determination to put their ideas into practice.
Our National Foundation Diploma in Enterprise and Entrepreneurship provides you with the knowledge and practical skills required to set up and run your own business, develop an existing business or work in the enterprise sector.
