I attended the SYOB business course with Forus Training in Mullingar. It's a fantastic course if starting a business and you are not confident in the skills needed.

The course was very good, and it’s great getting it completed in a small amount of time. But I think there should be a few more tutor classes. Four isn’t enough, maybe 6 or 8 classes would be more sufficient.
