Taking forward an idea or thinking about changing the path that you are on can be a daunting prospect.  It can help to know that you are not alone and that with the right support and information you won’t always feel that way.

Throughout your life, everything you have done involved a process of learning and encouragement. No one is born knowing how to tie their shoelaces and it probably took someone else’s help over a period of time and a lot of determination in order for you to achieve it! Everyone who ever decided to go in a new direction began by thinking about it in bed, on the bus or lying in the bath and had help from other people along the way. They learned lots of new skills and absorbed a lot of information in order to realise their dream. 

That’s why enterprising women has developed a training programme to help you learn, give you the information you need to set out on your journey and give you the support of the staff and other women. You can choose what suits your needs best and if you’re not sure we’ll help you figure it out. 

A carefully selected programme of day and evening courses are offered enabling you to develop a forward thinking approach in terms of reaching your potential.  Explore your ideas, develop your confidence, and learn the skills you will need to run a business or get that perfect job. As part of a small group, you can have a space to share your ideas with other women. The courses are free to Glasgow residents, and a full set of complementary notes and refreshments are provided with all training.

The key feature of our training is the level of additional support that you can benefit from. enterprising women staff are available throughout the application process to answer your questions and address your concerns in relation to the training. You can also have a meeting to talk about the course prior to attending, and during training staff are available at the beginning of each session to informally chat about the progress of the course. You can also have ongoing individual meetings with staff to complement the training and expand on any aspect of the course they would like more information on.

Each course we offer is relaxed and informal and we do not assume any knowledge prior to taking part. Most training is available as both day and evening options. 

If you would like more information on any of our training, please go to the contact page and e-mail or pick up the phone and call. Alternatively if you already know about the courses and want to register, please complete the downloadable application form, print it off and pop it in the post or e-mail it. Depending on the popularity of the course, your name may be placed on a waiting list, but we’ll endeavour to get you on a course as soon as possible. Please be advised that returning an application doesn’t guarantee you a place, we will contact you with details when we can offer you a place.
