Help with planning your course

If you need to run your idea through, we can help to support its development. The business development team will assist with the business planning using lean canvas, costing of provision and marketing of courses. It will also assure the quality by suggesting a particular format prior to delivery and handle post-delivery customer satisfaction feedback.

Please contact the team on foundry@wlv.ac.uk to set up an exploratory meeting or to get your idea set up.
