    <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise is an exciting new short programme offering 6 sessions in basic business and management skills training free of charge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who is this course for?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise is an exciting new short programme offering 6 sessions in basic business and management skills training free of charge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you live and work in Cornwall for a minimum of 8 hours a week then you will be eligible to join this programme, providing you haven?t already gained a *Level 3 or above business or management qualification.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These courses are designed to be a practical introduction to the key elements you will need to be aware of when creating and managing your own business. The workshops will be relevant, very practical, with no assessments/ examinations taking place, and taught by highly experienced business professionals and tutors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise is split into 2 distinct groups to choose from;-&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Business Beginnings- for those individuals who are considering becoming self-employed or setting up their own business, or&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230;&amp;#8230;..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Business Enterprise- for those individuals who are already self-employed or currently managing a business, who need to develop their business skills and knowledge to move the business forward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Entry criteria can be discussed on an individual basis with the project manager&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What are the entry requirements?&lt;br /&gt;
No specific entry qualifications required but you do need to be working a minimum of 8 hours a week, and preferably not have already gained a *Level 3 or above qualification in Business or Management.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What will I be doing on the course?&lt;br /&gt;
Or if you choose the Business Enterprise group you will attend sessions on;-&lt;br /&gt;
Diversification and Growth&lt;br /&gt;
Effective Marketing&lt;br /&gt;
Project Management&lt;br /&gt;
Sustainability and Greener Working&lt;br /&gt;
Recruitment, training and Staff Development&lt;br /&gt;
Leadership and Motivating Others&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The courses are designed to be a practical introduction to the key elements you will need to be aware of when creating and managing your own business. The workshops will be relevant, very practical, with no assessments/ examinations taking place, and taught by highly experienced business professionals and tutors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Whichever group you choose there will also be additional skills embedded into the programme including time and stress management, confidence-building and assertiveness, communication, team-building and personal development. You will also be offered an individual information, advice and guidance session as well as the opportunity to work with a business coach/mentor after the course has been completed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How do I study the course?&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise programme is taught at Cornwall College, Camborne Campus for 6 sessions over 6 weeks. Attendance will be once a week for 6 weeks 9.30am to 2.30pm. &lt;br /&gt;
Courses will start approximately every 8 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dates and Fees:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What can I do after this course?&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise programme will have given you basic business skills and the confidence to progress further with your business idea.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, after you&amp;#8217;ve completed these 6 introductory sessions there will also be the opportunity to progress onto another more specific short course e.g Degree level short courses, professional business/ management workshops or possibly onto a higher education programme if you?d prefer to increase your business knowledge and skills base first.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Concessions:&lt;br /&gt;
For any individual who meets the criteria requirements given above, the programme will be fully-funded until December 2010 and so will be offered free of charge. Lunch will also be included free of charge during the college sessions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Information regarding fees/costs:&lt;br /&gt;
A Business Coach/Mentor will be appointed if the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise applicant requests this service and the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SMART&lt;/span&gt; Enterprise programme will fund the first two one hour sessions with the coach/mentor but any further support given will incur additional costs and will need to be negotiated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additional Information:&lt;br /&gt;
This programme would normally cost the applicant in excess of &#163;1500 per person and so places are limited on this programme. Therefore the Project Manager- Helen Norman will meet applicants in the first instance to ensure this is the most suitable programme to meet their needs. Please contact Helen to apply by telephoning 01209 617652 ( direct line), or 01209 611611 (main switchboard), or 0800 731 7594 (Cornwall College Business ) &lt;br /&gt;
