WBDA Training Courses

These are a selection of the workshops and programmes we offer:

• 'Planning For Your Business': This workshop helps to identify the skills, knowledge and information required to successfully plan a business…A Business Plan is exactly what is says it is: a plan of your business! It’s nothing to be scared about, but you will need to put down on paper everything you plan for your business. And it doesn’t matter what stage of your business you are at. It’s a working document and even if you have one, then it’s worth revising it.
  

• 'Marketing': You won't have a business without a market or without a customer! You need to know all about your market, your customer and what and how they are prepared to buy which products and services. How do you get your message to your potential customer? It's a complex area, but you need to understand all the basics of your product or services and this is where WBDA can help!
  
  
• 'Making Finance Simple': Are you any good at managing your own money? Well it's no good having a brilliant product and a target market that you can reach effectively if you can't manage the money to produce and sell it, and you can't manage systems and people to produce it and get it the customer! So WBDA has put together this workshop to teach you all you need to know about finance to help you start and grow your business.
  
  
• Imagining Growth (2-Day): If you've been trading for more than 12 months then this 2-day programme will help you 'grow'- in which ever way 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! Whichever! This programme is deigned to help you with the growth of your business.
  
  
• High Growth Business Acceleration Programme: The High Growth Business programme, aimed at female-led companies, includes personal one-to-one mentoring and workshops on specific business needs, such as finance, marketing and IT, and growth. The programme brings like-minded women together and provide them with all the help and support they need to achieve their high growth aspirations in business.

We have adapted the above face-to-face workshops and programmes into a Women’s Enterprise Programme and a Imagining Growth programme to provide an on-line training package that is available at a time and place that suits your lifestyle, family and work commitments.
