I really enjoyed the training even though it was a bit hard for me to do all the calculation. This training helped a lot on the budgeting part (business, domestic, and saving)

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 thought the course was extremely well presented. The presenters were enthusiastic and came across as very experienced and knowledgeable. I enjoyed the fact that it was presented in a cross-cultural environment which helped us to see things from each other’s perspective. The manner of presentation –the game- made the learning so easy and so much fun and yet what we learnt was so sound and useful. The practical was amazing for me – and not something I would ever have tried if I had not done the course. I was WAY out of my comfort zone. But it really taught me so much and grew me as a person as well as teaching me business skills.

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.

Having learned theory at school,

·         the training focuses a lot on practicals. It does make it easier to start a business to run it.

·         It focusses on the most important factors of business:

o   Invest in your business

o   Reduce you expenses

o   Save for your business

·         One can take ownership, have control of your business, know what is happening and be accountable

·         I can definitely refer everyone to do it Indeed, I do not regret attending it, it is an investment.

·         Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
