This intensive training programme intends to:

• Provide a forum where you can learn from the experiences of experienced  entrepreneurs,
• Reveal the true entrepreneurs amongst the participants and nurture their entrepreneurial talent,
• Develop your business skills, including networking, building partnerships, marketing, selling and financial planning,
• Provide an opportunity to apply these skills within a 'safe' environment,
• Help you to clarify your business ideas and provide inspiration, confidence and planning for the next steps,
• Help identify sources of help and advice for the early stages of the business development.

Each day will focus on a different aspect of how successful entrepreneurs have gone about starting and growing their business and will include Practical Assignments, Workshops and Opportunities for sharing ideas with other like-minded entrepreneurs.

At the end of the programme you will have learned what it takes to start up in business and will have gained a better insight into your potential as entrepreneur. You will have a rough (business) plan outlining your business proposition and you will have become part of a community of like-minded potential entrepreneurs, as well as built up a network of contacts with both the business community and seasoned entrepreneurs.

You will also have had a chance to present your proposition to a panel of pre-selected entrepreneurs and other people representing the sort of organisations you will seek support from as you live out your entrepreneur potential, including business angels, banks and potential customers.
