Course Modules

Level 6 module listing 

This Business Administration course contains 10 online modules. These are designed by Online Business School’s expert academic team to provide students with a solid theoretical basis for developing their teaching skills, and therefore cover the following topics:

IT in business

There is clear evidence that information technology provides competitive advantage, whatever the business sphere an organisation operates it, this module will assess pros and cons of using information technology within business.

Effective communications

Information is the most valuable asset in the contemporary organisation, and communication is the method by which information is shared. It is on the basis of information that business decisions are made. So without effective communications, an organisation simply cannot perform optimally.

High performance teams

This module is designed for both new and experienced managers. Using a mix of information, personal and team activities, it aims to help learners develop new team building skills or refine and expand the team building skills they already possess.

Leadership skills

Good leadership is essential for success in any organisation, whether in the private or public sector. Today, rapid change, in the form of a constantly changing competitive environment, innovations in technology and changing economic conditions, have led to the realisation that leadership is a skill to be developed.

Manager’s toolkit

There are literally thousands of management tools and models which can be used for analysis, problem solving and strategy development. The trick for the practising manager is to master a few which are versatile and which can be used in most of the situations you are likely to encounter.

Managing and using finance

This module covers key areas of accounting, as seen from a business perspective. It explains how accountancy can inform and guide management decisions.

Managing and using marketing

The focus of marketing is on the customer and customer satisfaction – meeting the needs of customers through the products/services we sell and offering the customer what they perceive as value. Today customers have higher and higher expectations for quality, service and value.

Managing organisations

There is a great deal of focus on creating the right type of organisation today because it is recognised that the structure, culture and management of the organisation has a huge influence on organisational performance.

Personal effectiveness

So what is personal effectiveness? Personal effectiveness covers those skills and abilities that we need to have, regardless of our job, status or professional background. Personal effectiveness is about using the key skills we have identified to achieve greater productivity and successful results – whether that be on a business or personal basis.

Quality and excellence

The words quality and excellence are used in a wide variety of contexts in organisations. We refer to a quality product, a quality company, excellent business procedures or an excellent service. So, what exactly do we mean by these terms? Does quality mean conformance to specifications? Does it mean a product or service without flaws? Does it mean excellence?

OBS Stories

Jadine Briolas

My experience I would describe as an adventure. The studies and assignments were always exciting and intriguing to me. Whenever I did need the extra help, I would get it from the team without fail, it was just a breeze.

When I came across Online Business School, I was immediately attracted to it. It is not only affordable but very convenient as well. I work full time but at the same time have a passion for my studies and this is the only platform I came across that allowed me to pursue both.

Steffan Newton

I chose Online Business School because of the flexibility they offered to learn. I read previous reviews online and spoke to the school to ensure this was the best option for me.

The flexibility to study is great and the support received from the school is brilliant.
