The Financial Management as a Foundation Skill course is designed for those who would like to be more knowledgeable about matters of finance but who don’t necessarily have a background in finance.
Everyone agrees that a working knowledge of financial terms and concepts is important. But it can be confusing to know where to begin – especially when the meaning of financial management terms and concepts depends on the context and point-of-view.
This self-paced online course is designed to give you a head start with financial management terminology and its key concepts and give you the ability to approach matters of everyday finance with knowledge and confidence.
This course has been co-authored with Mark Priadko.
