Business Management

About the Business Management Certificate

Managing a business involves controlling and overseeing lots of different elements. This can be difficult, especially if it is your first venture into business management. This distance learning business management course aims to prepare the students of Stonebridge College for the challenges and complexities of the business world.

Business is a vast subject area, so we have divided the interesting and engaging course materials into four easily manageable modules. As you work towards your business management certificate, you will learn all you need to know about effective management, employing staff, performance management and time, stress and crisis management.

Who should study this course?

This home learning course has been designed for students who are new to business and management and want to develop their skills. Whether you are considering opening your own business, or you simply want to expand your business knowledge, this course will help you.

You do not need any prior knowledge or any qualifications before enrolling on one of our short business courses. All you need is an interest in business management and the motivation to engage in independent home study.

What happens after the course?

On successful completion of your business management certificate, you may decide to study further business courses with Stonebridge. You may even choose to complete an Access to HE Diploma and go on to study business at university.

Alternatively, you may decide to use your new found skills to start up your own business, or apply for a job in management. Strong and intelligent leaders are needed in every employment sector, this means you could end up working in one of the following roles:

  • Small business owner
  • Project manager
  • HR manager

Certificate 2 is issued by Quality Licence Scheme: Level 2 Business Management Certificate of Achievement

At the end of this course successful learners will be given the option to receive a Certificate of Achievement from the Quality Licence Scheme and a Learner Unit Summary (which lists the components the learner has completed as part of the course).

The course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. This means that Stonebridge Associated Colleges has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of this course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the course have been benchmarked at Level 2 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The course itself has been designed Stonebridge Associated Colleges to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications. The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

The Quality Licence Scheme is part of the Skills and Education Group, a charitable organisation that unites education and skills-orientated organisations that share similar values and objectives. With more than 100 years of collective experience, the Skills and Education Group’s strategic partnerships create opportunities to inform, influence and represent the wider education and skills sector.

The Skills and Education Group also includes two nationally recognised awarding organisations; Skills and Education Group Awards and Skills and Education Group Access. Through our awarding organisations we have developed a reputation for providing high-quality qualifications and assessments for the education and skills sector. We are committed to helping employers, organisations and learners cultivate the relevant skills for learning, skills for employment, and skills for life.

Our knowledge and experience of working within the awarding sector enables us to work with training providers, through the Quality Licence Scheme, to help them develop high-quality courses and/or training programmes for the non-regulated market.

*Regulated qualification refers to those qualifications that are regulated by Ofqual / CCEA / Qualification Wales
