Education
BizEd Management Course
The Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) has announced the launch of its new BizEd Management Online Course, a professional development programme designed to equip local entrepreneurs, managers and business owners with practical, real-world business skills.
A defining feature of the programme is its collaboration with the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), delivered through their business school. The UWE Bristol Business School is known for its strong emphasis on industry collaboration and hands-on learning, working closely with organisations and partners to co-create programmes that deliver relevant, career-ready skills. This is further demonstrated through UWE Bristol’s delivery of the UK Government-backed Help to Grow programme, a highly successful initiative designed to support businesses with practical training in strategy, innovation, leadership and financial management. This experience in delivering applied, impact-driven management education will directly inform and strengthen the new course for GFSB members, ensuring participants benefit from real-world insights and a strong focus on actionable business outcomes.
Commenting on the launch, Kim Chang, Business Manager at the GFSB, said:
“The BizEd online course represents an important step forward in strengthening Gibraltar’s business community and forms an integral part of the Education & Training initiatives we provide to our members. By working with the University of the West of England, we are bringing UK recognised expertise directly to local businesses. Our goal is to provide accessible, high-quality training to assist our members to lead, grow and innovate.”
Adding to this, Lynda Williams, Head of External Engagement, College of Business and Law at UWE Bristol, highlighted the value of the partnership:
“At UWE Bristol, collaboration is central to how we deliver impactful education. Our work with partners such as the GFSB reflects our commitment to co-creating programmes that combine academic excellence with industry relevance, helping businesses develop the skills needed to succeed in today’s global environment.”
The introduction of the BizEd Management Course reinforces GFSB’s mission to support small and medium-sized enterprises. The course is open to all business owners, managers and professionals (who are GFSB members) seeking to enhance their leadership and management capabilities.
The BizEd online course starts on 5th May and runs for six weeks, with one two-hour session each week in the evening. Find out more and apply.
