Course Overview

In today’s economy, organisations are doing more with less. They’re demanding more productivity from every employee and looking for every possible measure to improve their bottom line. They’re also expecting their employees to monitor and drive this process themselves. It’s only natural that all employees have a basic working knowledge of financial statements and calculations and a general grasp of financial literacy.

During the How to Increase Your Financial Intelligence training you will learn how to read and interpret a few basic financial instruments, discover how to recognise opportunities to increase revenue and shave expenses, and increase your value to the organisation.

By improving your financial know-how, you’ll know how to justify requests and translate work performance into financial terms. You’ll be able to quantify your team’s contribution to the organisation and your own.

Why Learn Online?

Learning new skills online can be perfect for organisations and employees for the following reasons:

Getting a trainer to your location could be difficult or cost-prohibitive
The employees you want to train work from home or are part-time
You don’t have the resources to cover for the employees you want to be trained, so allowing them to the training online means they won’t need to leave their work areas
Your training budget is limited, and online learning is more cost-effective
You want your people trained in a wide range of skills this year,’s online learning provides much better value to get everyone involved in learning and developing themselves.
