Business & Professional
Do you dream of creating your own brand, working with numbers in the world of finance or even becoming your own boss? Or perhaps you are hoping to gain some new business skills to help you progress to the next stage of your current career? Our business and professional courses are designed to equip you with a range of valuable skills and prepare you for a successful future in the business world.
Trips and visits
You will have the opportunity to visit various companies to increase your commercial knowledge and meet industry experts. Students have attended exciting events such as the Prolific North Marketing Event in Manchester, visited the Bank of England and Houses of Parliament in London, and participated in informative business workshops at Alton Towers and Chester Zoo.
You may even have the chance to venture overseas; previous students have visited locations such as New York to explore the Stock Exchange and immerse themselves in the financial centre of America.
Industry links
The college has fantastic industry links with local businesses such as Warrington Chamber of Commerce, Warrington Business Exchange and Real5 Networking. Students will have the opportunity to put their skills into practice and work on live briefs from real businesses, such as Riqueza.
Alongside your course, you will have the chance to complete an industry placement, fully immersing yourself in the business world. This is a great chance to make new contacts and potentially enhance your future career opportunities. In addition to the industry-relevant skills developed throughout your industry placements, you will also develop vital employability skills including communication, customer service, enthusiasm, motivation, problem-solving and attention to detail. This ensures that you are fully prepared to succeed in the workplace when you leave us.
We also welcome many guest speakers to the college, such as leading professionals from the world of marketing, HR and finance, who can give you valuable insights into your potential future career.
