COURSE DESCRIPTION
The business services industry provides the core business skills and knowledge required for high-performing workplaces, competitive advantage and business success.

Business services are those activities which bind an organisation together, enable it to function and connect it to its customers and community. ‘Business services' represents both an industry sector (comprising those firms which provide a business service to other workplaces/organisations) and an occupational grouping (comprising those workers in all industries who are providing a business service within their own workplace/organisation).
