Why It Benefits NDIS Participants

1. Build Capacity for the Future

NDIS Capacity Building funding is there to help participants develop skills that lead to greater independence. The Better Business Owner Course falls under this umbrella, offering you tools to enhance problem-solving, financial literacy, and decision-making – all transferable to both work and personal contexts.

2. Learn at Your Own Pace

We understand that everyone learns differently. With workbooks and materials that can be completed at your pace, this course offers flexibility. Each module requires around 4 hours to complete, though this can vary based on how quickly you work through the content.

3. Accessible and Straightforward Learning

The course content is designed to be accessible. While it requires focus and dedication, it isn’t overly difficult. For participants who are mentally differently-abled, the course’s suitability depends on comprehension levels. Helix Planning can work with you to assess whether the course aligns with your abilities and goals.

4. Essential Life Skills

From financial literacy to strategic thinking, the Better Business Owner Course equips you with foundational skills for personal and professional success. Even if you don’t plan to run a business, the knowledge gained can help you better understand your personal finances, make informed decisions, and feel empowered in everyday life.

What to Expect: Time and Commitment

The course includes multiple modules, each requiring approximately 4-5 hours to complete. Depending on your pace and learning style, you may finish faster or take extra time to absorb the material. You’ll need to dedicate focused time to complete workbooks and tasks including podcasts and articles, but the effort is worth it – these skills are lifelong investments in yourself.
