All businesses need to manage their finances correctly in order to ensure their stability and their potential for future growth. Knowledge of finance is one of the core skills of running a profitable operation and is integral to all areas of the business.
The Association of Business Executives (ABE) now offers a Financial Management (FM) pathway within the Business Management programme. The new pathway system allows greater flexibility for students who now have the option to complete multiple qualifications simultaneously. The FM pathway contains three levels of Ofqual accredited qualifications to improve your financial management knowledge and skills. The Diploma in FM starts at level 4, and enables you to progress through the Higher Diploma at level 5, up to the Graduate Diploma at level 6. You can study at one of more than 500 colleges worldwide who between them offer a range of flexible study options.
Each ABE course leads to a qualification in its own right.
