Business Fundamentals

 

 

Business Fundamentals at Northern is a one-year certificate that will provide you with the foundation you need to kick-start your career.

 

It’s also the gateway to all of Northern’s two-year business diploma programs – including Marketing, Accounting, Human Resources, and more.

 

You’ll get started with hands-on introductory courses that provide an overview of everything from recruitment and record-keeping, to communications and management.

 

Then you’ll dive deeper into what it takes to maintain an organization’s competitive edge – exploring microeconomic theory, organizational behaviour, and the interrelationship between entrepreneurship, ethics, and social responsibility.
