Career Specialisation
Entrepreneurship & Business Operations
Turn your operations capability into your own enterprise, or into a service you sell to small businesses that cannot afford a full-time administrator.
Who This Is For
Is this programme for you?
Learners who have completed the Foundation and want to start a business or work independently serving SMEs.
You work inside a simulated South African business, handling the same tasks a new employee would in their first ninety days. Knowledge is taught because the task in front of you needs it, not as a subject to memorise.
The Digital Operations Professional Foundation is the compulsory first block and comes before any specialisation.
What Will Set You Apart
What you walk away with.

Register and structure a business compliantly in South Africa
Quote, invoice and manage cash flow for your own operation
Package your operations skills into a service SMEs will pay for
