About this course

The Entrepreneurship Programme is a fully funded three-week, full-time course designed for aspiring entrepreneurs, early-stage business owners, and anyone looking to turn a business idea into reality. 

Participants will develop practical, in-demand skills across digital tools, finance, legislation, customer care, and business planning.  During the programme, participants will gain two nationally recognised qualifications:
