I am looking to study a completely practical course that will teach me everything that I need to know about running a business - how to write business plans, marketing plans, accounting skills etc. I am not after a theoretical course. There are so many socalled experts on the net that I do not know who to choose. So I am stuck and would appreciate help in 2 areas: 1. Does anyone know of reputable universities who run practical courses like the one that I am after. 2. Does anyone know which of these non-university sites, ie business advisory sites, are reputable and knowledgeable.
