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.

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.

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."
