Contained in this handbook are various training modules that can give
the artisan a unique insight into the business side of their craft. There are
seven modules, and they include everything that a crafter needs to

enhance their chances of success. Each plan is deliberately and
strategically laid out to allow a maker to learn and exploit any business

talents they may have. The modules in the handbook are as follows:

Spotting opportunities
Business planning & development

Business launch & management
Financial and Economic literacy
Networking

Ethical and Sustainable Thinking
Branding

This handbook is an ideal guide, but for a more complete experience,
please refer to the MOOC (massive open online course) for an additional

three modules (8, 9, 10) to facilitate further learning. The MOOC also
provides the opportunity for self-assessment and peer to peer exchange

of insights and ideas. Along with this, the crafter or artisan will be able to
find additional resources, such as links to real business case studies,

recommended reading, templates for business and financial planning,
and so on.

Extra Modules found in the MOOC,
Module 8: Additional learning resources and practical case studies

Module 9: Additional resources for project and peer-exchange based
learning

Module 10: Pre and post-study assessment
