FAQ

Online course questions

How long is the online business course?

Six weeks: one live online session of one hour each week, plus the work you do on your own business between sessions.

What do I get for each session?

A slide deck, a companion booklet with worksheets and a written session summary, so you can refer back to everything later.

How much does it cost?

R5,000 per person for the full six-session course.

How is this different from the Entrepreneur Business Accelerator?

The online course is a self-funded, six-week course you can book any time a cohort is open. The Accelerator is a 12-month, funder-supported programme with hands-on implementation, and places depend on selection and funding.

Is it online?

Yes. Sessions run live on Microsoft Teams, so you can join from anywhere in South Africa.
