The courses are free, and they pair naturally with a mentor who can help you put them into action.

Common questions

The Centre, answered.

Are the courses really free?
Yes. Every course in the Entrepreneurship Centre is free. It is part of our mission to help more South Africans start and grow businesses.
Who are the courses for?
Anyone thinking about a different path - whether you are unemployed, have a business idea, or already run a business and want it to grow.
How long do they take?
Lessons are short, in three to five minute segments, so you can learn around your schedule.
Who teaches them?
Some are presented by members of the NMM community, others by local and international experts, all knowledgeable and passionate about their topics.
Do I need to be in a mentorship programme?
No. The Entrepreneurship Centre is open to everyone. It pairs naturally with mentorship, but you can start the courses on their own.

Free, with The StartUp Tribe

A course gets you started. A mentor keeps you going.

Pair the free courses with a mentor who has built a business before, and put what you learn straight to work.
