The training that we provide is a simulation based business skills development course that combines theory, workshops, case studies and activities that simulate real market conditions and business scenarios in the training room.
We are using our proprietary Business training course called “EPIC Journey” which has been developed by experts in the fields of business, entrepreneurship, curriculum development, training delivery and practitioners who have spent decades enabling micro businesses to launch and sustain in over 48 countries.
Mentoring
The aim of Economic Community Transformation Groups (ECTGs) is to journey more closely with graduates of the “EPIC Journey” training over a longer time horizon. The vision is that an ECTG will form into a vibrant community that has restored hope, takes ownership of their situation and uses their combined skills, resources and influence to identify and implement projects or initiatives that will result in job creation, economic upliftment, empowerment, financial independence and freedom.
Deployment
In order to increase our reach and impact, we have developed a model and process that enables us to train trainers
We have strict selection criteria and terms for partnership and so we seek to partner with like-minded individuals or organisations who are willing to comply with all aspects of our programme, content and values
Epic Business Academy
Our Business Academy aims to equip entrepreneurs to plan, launch, grow and sustain businesses that will have a transforming impact on their stakeholder community.
It is for anyone who wants to start and run what is defined as a small or medium sized business as well as for graduates of the EPIC Journey training who have proven their ability to sustainably run a micro business and wish to step-up and grow their business…
I like the training because it taught me the advantages and disadvantages of business. It also gave me an experience in business (in the practical time).

BEST Entrepreneurship Training program was a very interesting subject for me. I feel I am going to run a business with a different concept in future. I have tried many businesses and sadly I found them all bankrupt or closing down. But BEST has helped me to understand that planning of a business is critical, investing and adding value and selling and analysing your business puts more insights in how I can grow and run a business successfully, even with very little money. The practice of budgeting and purchasing or selling of goods was the BEST I had. Thank you for this rich program.

For this course, I learn how to run a business and to save money, even to negotiation to the customer. Negotiate a good deal because when you run a business you have to know good and bad prices. This term is very good because we also know how to plan our business. Before you buy you have to plan first. Then when you finish to plan you start to buy material. Then you start your business. It is what I’m learn.

For me the course was very educating in a way that people work in their business, or making profit. Knowing how to use your money and making sure that you use your money in a good way. The Bottom Line Basic Course it made me realise that with little amount of money you can make lot of profit if you know the strategy and to plan your business. Thank all the people that taught us . They really brought light in our own business.

Business is important. You can have a successful business when you are determined in what you are doing. In business you can make good friends, and you also have food on the table.

Though I am a businessperson, I have learnt and improved on my record keeping. The 4 P’s where very helpful in marketing: products, place, promotion and price. I also realised that some people that we (Business for transformation – B4T) help with loans need this training especially start ups and I wish to be one of the trainers to that I can be able to offer this training.

I really enjoyed the training – it taught me and it was very practical. I learnt the things practically and it helped to bring a business perspective to my thinking. Things that I thought were hard and difficult to do unless you had been to a university or business college, I could now learn here at the training. I would suggest that we have a follow up group to meet to enrich our learning where we can share our business experiences and keep ourselves updated. It would also be good to have a platform where we can get assistance to those who are involved in business.

The B.E.S.T. training is priceless. I love working in a business environment and the things I learnt in this course has prone to be vital, not just for me, but for any individual who desires to use his/her money more wisely and to be a good steward of it. This course reminded me about the importance of recording everything you buy and sell and the importance of keeping receipts. I wish this course could be offered to scholars as I believe it will be a huge benefit in their lives and aid them in becoming independent earlier in their lives and think beyond the short-term ideas of just spending.
