Find out if SPARK is the right fit for you and how this program can empower you to reach your business potential

I’m stuck in the idea stage – I don’t know where to start.

SPARK helps you turn your business idea into reality. From validating your idea to creating your first product or service, you’ll learn step-by-step how to launch your business with confidence.

I’m in business, but I’m struggling with structure and strategy.

If you’ve been running your business for a while but don’t feel like it’s organized or growing at the pace you want, SPARK gives you the tools to put the right structure in place. Learn how to streamline operations, manage finances, and set clear, actionable goals for growth.

I’m overwhelmed by all the things I need to do.

Entrepreneurship can be overwhelming, and many entrepreneurs juggle everything from marketing to accounting. SPARK breaks down the complexities into clear, manageable steps, so you can focus on what matters most—growing your business.

I’m unsure how to scale or expand my business.

If your business is ready for the next level but you’re not sure how to scale effectively, SPARK teaches you the strategies to refine your offerings, expand your market, and build the team and systems you need to grow sustainably.

I lack the leadership skills to guide my team.

As an entrepreneur, you need to lead with vision, confidence, and clear direction. SPARK focuses not just on business skills but also on leadership, helping you build the right mindset to lead your team and inspire growth.

I don’t know how to integrate tech tools into my business

Technology is the backbone of modern business, but it can be confusing to know where to start. SPARK introduces you to the digital tools and systems that can streamline your operations, boost productivity, and help you stay ahead of the competition.

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."

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.
