EXPAND is for you!

Find out if EXPAND is the right fit for you and how this program can empower you to build a successful learning career or enterprise.

I’m stuck as an educator or learning professional - I don’t know where to start.

EXPAND helps you translate your teaching, HR, or subject-matter experience into instructional design and learning solutions. From understanding how learning works to designing your first learning product or service, you’ll gain step-by-step clarity to begin with confidence.

I have experience, but no clear structure or direction for growth.

If you’ve worked in education, training, or people development but feel unsure how to position yourself professionally, EXPAND gives you the frameworks to structure your skills. Learn how instructional design works across schools, organizations, and corporate environments, and how to position yourself strategically.

I’m overwhelmed by the many learning tools and career options.

The learning field can feel confusing. eLearning tools, platforms, roles, and terminology everywhere. EXPAND breaks everything down into clear, practical steps, helping you focus on what matters most and avoid unnecessary complexity. Giving you a clear and accelerated pathway.

I want to expand beyond teaching but don’t know how.

If you’re ready to move beyond the classroom or traditional roles, EXPAND teaches you how to design learning services, solutions, and experiences that scale across education, corporate, and global markets.

I lack confidence in leading learning projects or clients.

As a learning professional or edupreneur, you must communicate value, lead projects, and guide stakeholders. EXPAND builds both your technical and leadership confidence, helping you show up as a credible learning expert.

I don’t know how to use EdTech effectively.

Knowing what technology to use and why, can be difficult. EXPAND introduces you to the right learning technologies and design processes to create effective and engaging learning experiences.

We are not just putting skills in the hands of people.

Someone can be a technocrat without being a leader; you can be a business owner without being a leader, but you are better off being both a business owner and a leader. So, this is not just an enterprise development school where you are taught how to run your business. We also aim to impart the right values and leadership skills, so you can become more well-rounded than the average entrepreneur on the street.

What Our Participants Are Saying

Don't just take our words, hear directly from our alum

The facilitators, course curriculum, method of teaching was excellent, and the overall delivery was great. It can actually be seen as a Mini-MBA. The Quality of Facilitators selected was excellent. Their delivery was intentional, and they didn't hold back information that are useful to us. Also, sharing their experience made the teaching easy to digest and very relatable. Spark has impacted me and my organization a great deal. I was thinking of expanding my business before joining the course and I was a bit scared of what that might meant for the future of the business. Going through the course, I have been able to identify the loopholes that I need to fill and I can now confidently make the changes and settle into the operational roles that my business requires. I'm no longer afraid of the possibilities that I see with regards to my business instead I now know they are achievable, and I now have additional tools, resources and mentorship to make it happen."

A Special Welcome to SPARK From Our Founder, Godman Akinlabi

You're so special to us and our founder, Godman Akinlabi is extending a warm welcome to you through this video clip. Watch and see

The facilitators truly give their best, which made the experience enjoyable. The practical aspect of the course, particularly the business support, was exciting as some topics seemed difficult without guidance. The topics were eye-openers and highly impactful, designed to see students improve through follow-up outside the classroom. I highly recommend Spark to anyone because of the value one will receive. The world-class standard in content, faculty, and delivery was evident throughout the course. My organization has positively benefited, with increased monthly revenue and better structure in my business.
