About the Business Communication (Byte Size Skills) Certificate

This byte size course is a great way to enhance your communication skills ready for the world of business and management.

Who should study this course?

This is a course that should interest any communication professional that would like to add some theoretical aspects to their practical knowledge. It just as well suits a new entrepreneur who has developed a great business idea before getting to grips with the business skills required in the start-up arena.

Persuading, influencing, negotiating, networking or collaborating are all skills that everyone benefits from, be it in a customer-facing job, a public relations role, or in a business leadership position. You can take this business skills course without any prior qualifications, or any particular career experience.

What happens after the course?

At the end of this course you will have learnt key theories and models of communication, a number of obstacles to effective communication, as well as a better analysis and listening capacity. You may decide to continue with complementary studies, but you may also put these business writing skills to practice straight away.

The career options to choose from are hugely varied. Although there are jobs in media and communication to apply for straight away, you can also consider any marketing or customer-facing position, or you could enhance any previous qualifications to widen your employment opportunities.
