FAQ

  • Do I need to take all of the courses or can I pick and choose?

    You are welcome to take as many, or as few courses as you would like. We recommend taking them through the Learning Path you pick, as it provides an order. But if you want to jump around that is fine too!

  • Do you require I get access to the training through an economic development organization?

    No, we are happy to provide training to individual entrepreneurs. If you would like to have help connecting with your local Economic Development Group or Small Business Development Center, send us a note at [email protected].

  • Do you offer live group training?

    We do! Our team can travel and present live training, either one of the courses on our current site or a customized course for your needs.
