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

I learned how to invest money and how to use business money. It is very important to know how much money you need to start a business and how much will spend.

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.

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).

I learnt a lot in this Business Training. I did Business before, but I was never doing well. I guess that was because I never made a budget. I am so grateful for what I learned. In a Business it will always go up and down, but I know that I can handle that now, since I know how to save some money. And I saw as well that you don’t need big money to start a business, you can start small and work yourself up.

I have learnt in this business training things that I didn’t know before. For example how to keep records and make contracts, as well as saving, buying and selling. We thank our teacher and translator for their good insight.

This training was a great help to me because I started a business before and it failed. So with Epic Solutions I learnt about the risk of business, and about “LifeCards” which taught things that happen in real life. Epic Solutions taught me a lot about planning and record-keeping. I realise that part of why my business failed before was because I was not doing those things. I also learnt that if things don’t work out then try an alternative. Really of you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

· The practical was very useful in helping to put into action what was learned.
· There was a clear emphasis on understanding the business cycle as well as keeping records.
· A clear notion of some variables that affect a business was introduced.
· A lot was learned in a fun way and that really was the crown of the training course.

Because of this course I am now more committed to my work and encouraged/challenged to work more.
