Entrepreneurship Training

The knowledge and discipline to turn an idea into a real business.

From idea to enterprise

Starting a business takes more than a good idea. Founders need to understand their customers, price correctly, manage money, sell, and keep sound records. Our entrepreneurship and business-development training gives aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs that foundation in a practical, hands-on way.

It is open to graduates, young professionals and owners of small businesses who want to start, formalise or grow an enterprise.
