References and feedback from past course attendees. A series of online workshops are run as a part of this course. They are an opportunity to meet with other students and the tutor to focus on specific areas of the course. While the workshops are not compulsory, they are a very valuable component of the course. All course materials are supplied online and there are areas for discussion forums and chatrooms. Online chats can be arranged to discuss with the tutor and other students any topics in the course. Each week set tasks for completion will be added to the site and instructions on what parts of the business plan should be completed. You will have direct email and phone contacts for the tutor to discuss individual issues as you go through the course. There will also be opportunities for one-to-one feedback and discussion with the tutor around the times of the online workshops. There are no course fees, however, there is an administration charge of $100 which includes the text book. This charge covers all printing and postage plus phone calls.
