What our students say

What our RISE UP 2022 winner said

Business Fundamentals gave me the confidence I needed to set up and run my own small business. The programme taught me new skills such as: how to manage finances, discovering who my customer/client was and what legal support I might need. A highlight of the course was networking with other people and learning from their experiences.
