In our post-recession world, where the focus is increasingly on showing value for money, the Better Business Cases Practitioner Course teaches methodologies that are a great way to ensure everyone involved in the Project has an understanding of proven tools and techniques to make a stronger and more successful Business Case.

The Better Business Cases methodology is written by the UK Government Treasury in conjunction with the Welsh Government, is well tried and tested and in their words has lead to “quicker and cheaper business decisions”.

Online learning is a great way to study and our e-learning portal is interactive and engaging:
