Business courses - a good use of money or not?...

I've been toying with the idea of sending myself on an introductory business course over the last year or so.

The thing is are they worth it, and if so does anyone have any recommendations?

With so much free information on the internet these days it seems hard to justify actually paying for something like this when most people tell me that the best way to get on in business is just to do it!

Some business courses can be really useful. The key element of course is to do some proper research into the course and find out just what you will actually study on the course, and how meaty it is. If possible it is usually best to go on a course that someone else has recommended: talk to those that have already attended the course you are thinking of to get the inside track on what the content is like and how valuable the information gleaned has proved to those people when it came to running their own business.

I think that it is important to invest in your talents and develop your abilities and learn through your working career.

Now whether the business course will do that for you I'm not sure, I think the answer has to be that it depends on what the course is, and how relevant it is to the work you do now and what you want to do in the future.
