Foundation Course

Learn by creating, testing and building the enterprise.

The Foundation Course is an eight-week practical pathway for people developing creative and innovative responses to social or environmental challenges. Across two active learning months, each learner turns the idea into a progressively evidenced social-enterprise model.

Course at a glance

One creative idea becomes one tested enterprise model.

Foundation learning follows the logic of creating a social enterprise. Learners define the problem, develop and test an innovative response, understand customers and delivery, build the operating and financial model, define impact and prepare for responsible launch. Every theme updates the same evolving Business Plan instead of producing disconnected coursework.
