Testimonials
of the Centre’s Entrepreneurial Programmes
This programme was such an eye opener for me. It helped me to see what my business can really go and the importance of building systems and a road map to get there. For an indigenous tourism business such as mine, the focus on pitch development, marketing, and mentorship was the key for me. It helped me to come out of my shell, be more streamlined and confident in communicating my business, and boosting my confidence as an entrepreneur. Because of this programme, the Centre will always be close to my heart.

This programme offered not only practical strategies to business gaps I identified but also the mindset shift needed to turn my ideas into action. The mentors and facilitators provided valuable guidance, sharing their real-world experiences and helping me navigate challenges. The skills, confidence, and resources I gained have been instrumental in my growth as an entrepreneur, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about their business success.

This exceeded all my expectations! From the start, it helped me to visualise a clear structure of my business today and roadmap for the next steps. The weekly sessions were incredibly engaging and focused on practical skills, not just theory. I learned how to refine my business model, fill gaps, identified even more gaps as I expand. The peer-to-peer learning was also invaluable, as I gained insights from others facing similar challenges. Thanks to this experience, I now have a renewed confidence in myself and my company.

Participating in the Centre’s programme was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career. The curriculum was comprehensive and more than I expected, covering everything from financial awareness to pitch development, which helped me build a solid foundation for my business. The mentors were always accessible and provided personalised advice, helping me overcome obstacles I never anticipated. What stood out most was the focus on understanding business best practices, but making it suitable for my business.
