About Course
Your plan, your pitch, your certificate.
The Final Assessment completes Small Business Management: Production, Value Addition and Export. You bring together the 35 pages of your Producer’s Business Plan, pitch your business to a panel, and sit a final exam on the big ideas of all five modules. Five short guide lessons with Prof. Kitso take you through each part.
How it is marked: your teacher marks the plan (35%), the Pitch Day (15%) and the final exam (30%); your five module quizzes count for 20%. The pass mark is 60%. The exam is 60 minutes, open notes, with up to three attempts and the best one counting. Pitch live on Google Meet on the last Saturday of each month, or send a recording. Any part under 60% may be resubmitted once, free, within 14 days. Results come within ten working days.
When you pass, your teacher awards the full course certificate for 145 notional hours: 130 across the five modules and 15 in the Final Assessment. The fee covers the teacher’s marking and the certificate.
Before you enrol, complete Modules 1 to 5.
