Description

Notice: Please do NOT enrol on this course on impulse, thinking you might watch it later. Maybe show an interest on impulse, yes, but before you enrol, watch the Preview videos, read the Course Description and then make a decision. If you then enrol then please start the course as soon as possible. Watch the lectures, look at the workbooks and join in the discussions. Joining my courses is a serious business and I want you to get the most out of your study – but I also want you to enjoy the course.

That is why I am asking that you only enrol because you really want to and that you start the course intending to make full use of all the resources.

You will be very welcome.


Seven reasons to TAKE THIS COURSE right now:

  1. You cannot lose - 30 day refund if you really really don't like the course BUT if you DO like it:

    a. updated lectures

    b. case studies based on very very current news items

    c. detailed responses to messages

    d. I constantly attempt to have a 'class atmosphere' e.g. throwing questions open to all

    e. regular Announcements that are not disguised sales ploys

    f. regular FREE access to numerous other courses offered by me

  2. I am a lecturer/teacher in Economics and Business by trade i.e. I teach full-time for a living. I have been Principal, Director of Studies and Head of Economics. (Oxford, UK)  I have lectured in University, adult evening classes and also run over 50 seminars in the UK

  3. I am/have been an Examiner for FIVE different examination boards

  4. I have 100+ books on Amazon - many of them about business/economics

  5. The success of my students has been featured on the BBC, (just go to the BBC website and search my name) Daily Telegraph, The Times and I have been featured on TV in 2 countries.

  6. Schools take TWO years - I have had students pass after just 4 hours of lessons!

  7. I run training courses for Business Studies teachers (OSL Training)

MOTIVATION

I make courses on Udemy primarily because I enjoy the process of causing learning. Many of my courses are to improve lives. One of the Economics courses is to raise money for charity. (100% of revenue goes to the charity) Fundamentally this course here, is about helping you.

About the course

This is a 19 lecture course that, if followed, will vastly increase your chances when applying for an MBA. Just a few hours and yet huge steps in business knowledge and application! This is no empty boast - some of my students have passed at grade C and above after as little as 4 (yes...four!) hours of tuition. These very very brief lectures provide you with the basics of covering a huge chunk of the preparatory Business course.

And all for a price way way below what you could spend on textbooks - never mind two years at college!

But you must a) have an interest in business b) be willing to learn from your surroundings c) keep yourself aware of business activities and d) ask questions!

The initial lecture encourages a shift of mindset. This is expanded on in lecture 7. By lecture 8 we are looking at past examination questions.

Remember, though, a lot of your learning will come as you go about your day to day activities - this course merely 'primes' you.

It has worked for others - and the evidence is there - so why not let it work for you?

Topics covered:

  • External environment (SLEPT)

  • Internal environment

  • Exam questions

  • Exam technique

What others say:

Grade A after only 4 weeks (schools take TWO YEARS) : BBC (full links in the course)

Passed the exam to go to university after only FOUR HOURS of tuition! - BBC (full links in the course)

"Great lecturer, very structured and well presented material, extremely helpful in preparing for exams" - Elvira on Udemy

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wishes to learn about business - but especially students needing qualifications
  • Pre-MBA students

Dear Mr. Bankes I don't know how to thank you for this course. I have nothing but admiration for you, your presentation skills, and your teaching capabilities. this course made me shift my mindset, do researches, and brainstorm. I'm sorry that I'll temporarily stop moving forward in the course, but that is because of my job requirements needing more focus. I promise as soon as I have the time, I will come back very effectively.
