Business & Finance Skills Bootcamp

Course Overview

Skills Bootcamps are flexible programmes of up to 12 weeks, giving individuals the opportunity to develop skills and fast-track to an interview with an employer.

These are being developed as part of the Lifetime Skills Guarantee, by the UK Government, in partnership with employers, providers and local authorities. This will help people to develop skills that are in demand within our local area and get a better job or more responsibilities within a current role. Here at Basingstoke College of Technology, we are offering a wide range of options to meet your needs.

You will complete a business and finance-based project developing skills in creating and maintaining small business and sole trader records. This will be supportive of business start-ups, sole traders, small businesses and upskilling bookkeeping knowledge within the workplace to provide you with a head start with business and finance concepts.
