Ann Maurice's Advanced Business

Ann Maurice's Advanced Business Course

A unique Business course aimed at people in the Property Presentation and Interior Design industry.

Many of Ann's former trainees have asked her how they could learn more about running a successful business in 'home staging' and 'property presentation' and this made her realise that whilst there are many general business courses on the market, there are non specifically designed for this particular industry.

After much research, we have teamed up with Maze Training, a very successful UK training company. Before entering the training sector, Nicola Fowler, co-owner of Maze Training, spent 10 years working in property and estate agency businesses so there is a real synergy between our two companies.

Together we have set about establishing the areas that are most likely to help you with setting up, running or expanding a new or existing business. From this, we developed an action packed and tailor-made 4-day residential course that will ensure you leave with a clear planof what to do next along with lots of tips and materials that you will find invaluable in the future.

Our third course in November 2007 was a major success and student feedback clearly shows that this course was one of the best career investments they had made.
