“The Fundamentals of Finance” open finance course in London is aimed specifically at non finance managers.

Finance is seen as rather a “dark art” by non-finance people, and yet there is no area more important for rounded business people to understand. Whether you work for a commercial organisation, in the public or third sectors, or want to put together a business plan to create your own business, you need to understand the numbers. You can make better, faster, smarter decisions, and avoid costly disasters.

Finance is often seen as rather dull as well, but this course will bring it to life in unimaginable ways! You’ll understand why the 2008 financial crisis makes bookies look like intellectual angels, how finance people can be creative (and destructive!) geniuses, and we’ll prove to you that you believe in fairies at the bottom of the garden...

Lammore Consulting are an award-winning training company. With offices in London, Harrogate and New York we train across the UK, Europe, the USA, Middle East, Far East and Australasia. We have three core principles that apply to every single training programme and training course we create: INSPIRE We recognise that implementing training is down to the individuals who have been trained, and that changing approaches and behaviour can be challenging. We work hard to truly inspire people with the enthusiasm and passion to change. ENTERTAIN We’ve all experienced ‘death by Powerpoint’ and training courses that simply don’t work because no-one is paying attention. We entertain on our courses – it makes the training material memorable, it makes people keen to learn, and people who are enjoying themselves are far more positive and motivated to change. MAKE A DIFFERENCE Ultimately, all training is about ‘making a difference’ to the people on the training course and the organisation paying for it. Investing in people, like any investment, needs to deliver a return, and however hard it is to measure, it’s essential that your investment in training delivers tangible results.
