Help to Grow: Management Course

The University of Stirling – as a Small Business Charter accredited institution – is one of a select number of Scottish partners delivering the UK Government’s Help to Grow: Management Course.

The course is designed for SME senior managers seeking to boost their business’s performance, resilience and long-term growth. The cost to attend is 90% funded by the Government (company contribution of £750).

The course’s 12 modules are undertaken weekly alongside full-time work – through a combination of online sessions, face-to-face learning, peer support and mentoring. The in-depth high-quality curriculum will support you to build your capabilities in leadership, innovation, digital adoption, employee engagement, marketing, responsible business and financial management. By the end of the course you will develop a business growth plan specific to your SME.
