    funding studies

    Hi

    I’m thinking of studying business studies to expand my knowledge,

    What funding options are available to self-employed contractors?
    Are there any college/university/government program offering free business studies?

    Many Thanks
    Alex

    I haven't heard of any and don't see why they would. I don't think most contractors need a business studies course let alone a specific one. Maybe one aimed at small businesses but not contractors specifically.

    Have a search in the professional forums before asking about claiming course fees through the company. Been discussed many times.

      to clarify i dnt mean claiming course fee as expense, I am looking for free resources / options available out there to expand my skills and business,.

      currently a self employed contractor, but long term goal is to expand my limited company and turn it into a bigger business

        You so do.
        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          Have a look at this lot.

          You'll have to start acting like a proper business rather than a contractor though.
