This is a capstone team-based module that provides the learner with the opportunity to effectively combine knowledge and skills acquired over their three years of study. Not only will learners have something concrete to show prospective employers on completion of this module but the whole process of practical development in a team will provide learners with real world life skills and techniques. There is an increasing industry focus on teamwork. Strengths and weaknesses of the team must be understood and accepted. Learners will be required to research in detail the proposed business idea, prepare a report and present their findings to their peers.

Where the combined marks of the assessment and examination do not reach the pass mark the learner will be required to repeat the element of assessment that they failed. Reassessment materials will be published on Moodle after the Examination Board Meeting and will be aligned to the MIMLOs and learners will be capped at 40% unless there are personal mitigating circumstances.
The enterprise development module will provide the learner with an understanding of entrepreneurship and business development to enable the learner to identify, research, critically analyse, prepare and present the findings of a Business Plan. The module will act as a capstone module and allow the integration of knowledge, skills, competencies and experiences generated by involvement in all of the modules across the curriculum. The project will require the learners to develop a basic business plan.
