Top 5 Business Courses to Help You Land Your Dream Job

by CoursesOnline Contributors

Browse Business Courses

Are you ready to take the first steps toward landing your dream job? If you want to work in the fast-paced business world, gaining the right qualifications is the right place to start. Choosing a business course that suits you will allow you to develop new skills that will blow hiring managers away. So, which one is right for you? Here’s what you should know!

1. Business Management University Foundation Programme


If you’ve just finished high school, gaining the right qualifications could help you land your dream job. While you should have a degree in your long-term sights, gaining a foundation certificate could help you. The Business Management University Foundation Programme is open to people who are at least 16 years old and have a high school education.

The qualification is worth 120 credits and is the equivalent to A-Level qualifications. What’s more, you can study the entirety of theses courses online at a time that suits you. The general idea is that you gain an understanding of basic business management and gain an insight into it. You can use these new skills to get started on your chosen career path. 

When you have completed the foundation course, you can move up to the next level of your education. Applying to university to study a business-related degree will help you along the way. You can also take a look at online courses and part-time degrees that suit your lifestyle.

2. Business Management University 1st and 2nd Year


When you have completed your foundation course or A-levels, it could be worth looking into a Business Management University course. You can actually complete your first and second year by doing online courses in the comfort of your own home. The 240-credit course will fast-track your learning and give you an understanding of the new skills you will need in a business-related role. Job seekers could greatly benefit from undertaking this course. 

This particular online course could help you land your dream job in the long-run. First, you will start by completing 10 level 4 modules and 10 level 5 modules. You will complete a total of eight assignments before you have completed this course. You will learn new skills that you will need should you ever have your own business or work within one. 

Once you have done all of the above—on a part-time or full-time basis—you can choose to complete the final year on campus. Alternatively, you can also stop this course after completing level 4 and apply to a campus university. When you do so, you can ask to be exempt from the first year of the qualification as you have already completed it online.

3. Level 5 Diploma in Business Enterprise


Learners who already have level 3 and/or level 4 diploma can start the Level 5 Diploma in Business Enterprise. Be aware that if you already have a first degree in another subject matter and one day hope to have your own business, this course will also be open to you. Boasting 120 credits, the course could help you take the next step in your career path. 

These online courses allow people interested in business to learn a variety of new skills that will help them kick-start their career. The course covers management-specific challenges, business skills, theory, strategising, and more. Plus, since you complete the course online, it means that you can do it in your own time. For example, the part-time study option may work for learners who are already employed or have other commitments. Easy!

4. Business Strategic Management


Already got a degree in the business field? Looking for a promotion? It could be time to up your game. When it comes to landing your dream job, you need to make sure that you give yourself a competitive edge. That means taking your education to new heights and gaining a deeper understanding of the modern business world. Believe it or not, the Business Strategic Management qualification could be the solution you’ve been looking for.

If you are a university graduate over the age of 22 or a non-graduate over the age of 24 in a managerial position, you may find that you qualify for this course. When you’re searching for a new role, hiring managers will surely be impressed by this higher-level qualification. During studying, online learners will complete 120 credits of a 180-credit MBA certificate. 

The course covers many of the new skills job seekers need to get ahead. You will learn about effective leadership, decision-making, motivating your team, developing interpersonal skills, being more creative and problem-solving. All of the above will aid you when you’re looking for a dream job. Adding these skills to your LinkedIn profile will gain you extra attention from recruiters and could be the stepping stone that you need for your next job.

5. MSc International Business


One of the highest level business qualifications you can get is the MSc in International Business. If you got a 2:1 or 2:2 on your undergraduate degree, you can apply to take this esteemed qualification and learn remarkable new skills. The course is available on campuses in both London and Birmingham, which means that you may need to relocate if you choose to undertake this particular qualification. Keep that in mind when applying. 

Depending on your unique career goals, you may find that this Master’s qualification may suit you. The course covers international finance in global business, the digital landscape, international marketing, international HRM, applied research methods, and global strategy. It is best suited to job seekers hoping to work in huge multinational companies. Hiring managers are certain to be impressed by the new skills that you will learn in this course. 

Learners will also have the option to undertake a Master’s dissertation as a part of this MSc course. To do so, they will have to undertake a substantial research project on the topic of international business. The new skills that learners acquire during this dissertation will aid them greatly when it comes to having a job interview or landing their next job.

Choosing the right business course for your needs depends on your current education level. Since the world of international business is ever-changing, continually updating your skillset and learning new things is the key to your success.

With that in mind, why not check out our range of online business courses to get a head start?
