Training Courses
WBDA offers a range of free, expert and innovative training courses for aspiring and existing businesswomen. All our courses are professionally run by highly qualified trainers, but are also relaxed and enjoyable and provide the opportunity to meet other women like you.
These are a selection of the workshops and programmes we offer:
Women’s Enterprise Programme – learn how to be your own boss!
A free and informal, relaxed and fun workshop, where you’ll be given all the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to generate and develop your own business ideas. If you’re thinking about being your own boss, this inspirational business start-up programme could be just the start you need!
4-Day Workshops run from 10.00am until 2:30pm (evening workshops are also available) and we’ll even pay your travel expenses and any dependency care costs incurred while you are training.
We have adapted our Women’s Enterprise Programme to provide an on-line training package that is available at a time and place that suits your lifestyle, family and work commitments. You can register for this programme, and access topics that are right for you, additional resources and forums at www.westmidlandswoman.co.uk. Click on the graphic on the home page to go to the registration page. You will need to give some details so you can access this service.
If you are just at the ideas stage then the short Be Your Own Boss workshop could be for you! Clarify your ideas and work them up into a viable business proposition and get started on the right road. In the meantime, check out the downloads at http://www.westmidlandswoman.co.uk/pages/looking_for_ideas.
If you've been trading for more than 12 months then the two-day Imagining Growth programme will help you 'grow' whatever growth means to you! It might mean working smarter not harder; it might mean going from part-time to full-time; it might mean taking on staff; it might mean growing an empire! You can access an online version and additional resources by registering at www.westmidlandswoman.co.uk and clicking on the graphic  to go to the registration process.
Free Workshops & Seminars
We offer a range of short, relaxed and informal workshops and seminars in response to requests made by businesswomen, or those in the pre-start-up stage, on a wide range of practical subjects.
Inland Revenue Workshops
The Women’s Business Development Agency is committed to delivering a diverse service that responds to your specific needs. We have identified that one of the main barriers preventing women from starting-up and sustaining their own businesses is finance and accounting. We recommend women to attend courses run by the Inland Revenue which are available throughout the country.
These courses are free, very informal, only last ½ a day and provide you with the opportunity to voice all your fears and concerns about finance to a fully qualified representative from the Inland Revenue.
