How the online programme works

• Each module, with its accompanying activities and worksheets, takes between 12-20 hours of study time (depending on professional backgrounds).
• During this time you work through the 4 Modules at your own pace, learn and apply new startup tools, and take part in individual coaching sessions.
• At the end of each Module you have a 1 hour session with your coach.
• Feedback from previous participants stresses that the coaching sessions are key activities in applying the new tools and techniques introduced in the Modules to your own starting idea.
• All Modules have defined Learning Outcomes. This means that you know in advance what you are going to be learning during each part of your startup journey.
