Overview

As a business leader, knowing how to write a business case is a critical skill to acquire. This practical course takes you through a step by step process of writing a business case which provides convincing justification, for proposed investment in new equipment, new systems, acquisitions, major projects and innovations.

A Business Case captures the reasoning for initiating a project or task. Today, with investment capital for projects and innovations hard to come by, a business case has become an requirement for the release of funding for projects, whether private or public sector, whether from external sources, or from internal funding sources. A business case puts a proposed investment decision into a strategic context and provides the information necessary to make an informed decision about whether to proceed with the investment and in what form. It is also the basis against which continued funding will be compared and evaluated. You will be able to download a Business case template along with the learning manual.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
