Practical career courses for work and business
Two flagship programmes for school-leavers, job-seekers, working adults and business owners: Small Business Management and AI for Business, both open now. Every course is built, developed and assessed by qualified teachers. Pay one flat fee and finish with skills you can use the same week, plus a certificate anyone can check. Career courses are for learners in Botswana.
Our two flagship courses
One for running a business, one for using AI in it. Each is taught as modules you can take on their own or as the whole course.
Small Business Management
Make it here, add value, sell it on merit. Start and run a business that makes, grows or processes a product in Botswana: honest costing, registration, funding and selling at home and beyond. Five modules and a Final Assessment, all open now.
AI for Business
Use free AI tools to write, read, research, learn, sell, keep records and make decisions, safely and with confidence. Five modules and a Final Assessment, all open now: AI Foundations; Productivity, Learning & Communication; Creativity & Marketing; Data, Decisions & Automation; and Build with AI.
Small Business Management: the modules open now
Each module is its own course with its own certificate. One flat fee per module. Study online at your own pace, with assignments marked by your teacher.
Starting a Productive Business
Find, test and plan a business that makes something in Botswana: value addition, import replacement, your market and a one-page plan.
Money, Legal & Funding
Cost and price your product, plan your cash flow, keep the books, register with CIPA and BURS, and pitch to CEDA, YDF or a bank.
Customers, Quality & Service
Know your customers, keep every batch the same, package and label it properly, handle complaints with the LEARN steps, respect consumer rights and measure satisfaction.
Marketing, Selling Online & Exporting
Build a brand, plan your content, make photos and a 30-second video, run P50-a-day adverts, get paid by mobile money, and sell to shops and across borders.
Planning & Managing Projects
Run your launch as a project: charter, Gantt chart, risks, a small team, monitoring and evaluation, and selling to government through the PPRA.
Final Assessment
Your Producer’s Business Plan, a Pitch Day and a final exam, marked by your teacher, for the full course certificate. Complete Modules 1 to 5 first.
AI for Business: the modules open now
Each module is its own course with its own certificate. One flat fee per module. Study online at your own pace, with assignments marked by your teacher.
AI Foundations
What AI is and is not, which free tools work best in Botswana, how to ask for exactly what you want, how to check what it gives you, and how to stay safe and legal.
AI for Productivity, Learning & Communication
Letters, quotes and CVs in minutes, long contracts and tenders read for you, research you can trust, and any new skill learned with a tutor in your pocket.
AI for Creativity & Marketing
Ideas, images, designs, video and adverts that sell, made with free AI tools and Canva, plus a personal brand for your job search.
AI for Data, Decisions & Automation
Turn an exercise book into a spreadsheet, keep an AI cash book, know your margins, build a one-screen dashboard and automate a task without code.
Build with AI: Solutions for Botswana
Find a real problem, design a solution, build a no-code prototype, test it with five people, check it is responsible and pitch it at Demo Day.
Final Assessment
Your portfolio, a three-minute Demo Day pitch and a final exam, marked by your teacher, for the full course certificate. Complete Modules 1 to 5 first.
Also available
A standalone course with its own certificate and one flat fee. Study online at your own pace, in person in Gaborone, or on-site with your team.
Poultry & Vegetable Farming as a Business
Run broilers, layers and vegetables as a real business — costing, records, buyers and a farm plan you can take to a funder. A standalone course, not a module.

Add a practical skill and a certificate to your CV before your next interview.
