Every modern organisation, from a small retail shop to a multinational corporation, now runs on some form of information system - and someone has to understand where these systems fit into the business and who is responsible for running them. This Training Course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy takes participants straight into the practical job landscape of Information Systems (IS), showing them the departments, roles and career routes that this field opens up.

An information system links hardware, software and people together so that an organisation's management can access accurate, up-to-date data on its performance - stock levels, sales figures, customer records and more. Rather than starting from abstract theory, this course builds outward from real workplace scenarios: how IS teams are structured, what each role actually does day to day, and how these roles connect to the wider decision-making process inside a company.

Who Should Attend:

• Directors and supervisors of IT, software and computerisation departments.
• Owners and managers of small and large businesses looking to structure an internal IS function.
• Staff working inside specialised computerisation and information branches.
