From this month, 10 employees will be selected to undertake the two-year degree course in sales, studying on the top floor of the world-famous Knightsbridge store in west London.

The course includes modules in human behaviour, psychology and business enterprise, designed to improve sales skills.

"This will be the qualification for retail employees wishing to bolster their sales professionalism whilst investing for their long-term career planning," Harrods' learning and development manager Arkin Salih said.
