Micro-MBA was developed to empower people to become self-employed – it is a basic entrepreneurial course, but it has been used by many people with small and medium-sized businesses.

Since 1988, more than 160 000 people have been through the course. More than 4800 Trainer/Mentors have been trained throughout Southern Africa.

Independent surveys have shown that between 67% and 81% of those who have done the course because they wanted to start or improve their own businesses were still economically active 18 months after the course.

The course has been used throughout South Africa and the neighbouring states, as well as in several African Countries.

Watch out for Micro-MBA in India, Burma, Indonesia, South America and wherever else there is a need for basic economic development.

Micro-MBA involves a 3-month commitment on the part of the learner and the mentor. It begins with a simple, 5-day learning experience and is followed by monthly report-back and motivational meetings. Diplomas are issued to clients who demonstrate their willingness and ability to apply what they’ve learned during those first five days.
