(College Station, Texas) – Small business owners with a need to train
employees or learn for themselves the latest in retail sales and management
techniques will find the Center for Equine Business Studies (CEBS) Equine
Entrepreneurship Distance Learning Courses a convenient and economical
solution.
The CEBS at Texas A&M University will offer “Sales in the Equine Industry” and
“Managing the Equine Business” beginning March 2 and continuing through August
30. The sales course will focus on professional sales techniques in the equine
environment. Students will develop sales skills through application of sales
principles and realistic selling situations. Students interested in
fine-tuning their management skills will find the management course helpful as
it works to help students understand the economic principles of business
management, as well as ways to identify the strengths and weaknesses of
businesses. Course fees are $695 per person, although group discounts and CEBS
membership discounts will apply.
“The current economic landscape is ripe for the individuals who want to take
advantage of increasing their skills and marketability as potential employees
or business associates,” said Dr. Blake Bennett, CEBS distance learning course
instructor. “The job market is that much more competitive and in order to be a
competitive candidate you have to have skills and practical knowledge that
will make you the more attractive option.
Distance learning replaces the traditional face-to-face classroom with
instruction delivered via the Internet. This allows students to participate in
class activities at times convenient to their job and family obligations from
any location with Internet access. The courses can be taken for continuing
education credit and each course can be taken individually or as a part of a
certification program. Upon successful completion of all five courses, the
participant will be awarded a Certificate in Equine Entrepreneurship from
Texas A&M University. Courses also include Managing the Equine Business,
Marketing and the Equine Industry, Equine Entrepreneurship I and Equine
Entrepreneurship II.
