On successful completion of the module, students will be able to:

1 Prepare financial projections for a project and analyse and asses various options that potentially impact.

3 Prepare basic financial accounts for a project.

Content:

Students will demonstrate knowledge of the legal requirements for self-employment; including tax, national insurance, personal and public liability. The development of effective spreadsheets to facilitate financial projection and analysis will be central to content development. Students will evidence the ability to prepare a coherent business plan that will have utility for the instructor. Students will evidence the ability to produce, read and act upon basic financial accounts.

Learning and Teaching Information:

Within each teaching block there will be a one-day intensive session that will introduce the two modules to be studied. Following this, students will undertake on-line distance learning via Moodle to structure the 12-week teaching block with appropriate milestones, formative tasks and final submission of assignments.

Additionally, students will be attending Lishi classes (usually on a weekly basis) where they may carry out learning tasks appropriate to that module, including observed teaching assignments and presentations.

Additional assessment information

Once calibration is achieved there will be a system of sampled second marking and moderation to assure quality and best practice
