Before you decide
Do I need to already have a workshop?
The track serves equally to structure an existing business and to prepare a new one: business model and costing apply in both cases.
Is unit cost calculation taught?
Yes, it is central: materials, time, overheads, margin — and the tool to keep it up to date without spending your evenings on it.
How do I train while working in the workshop?
Short formats can be followed in the evening or at weekends, at hours you choose, from a phone as well as a computer.
