How does it work?

The Entrepreneurship Policy Series is made up of 5 independent but progressive courses that take you through the fundamentals of building your policy in the innovation ecosystem. These are basic to intermediary level courses.

Each course should take you about 2 hours to complete, but it is completely self-paced and you will be able to pause and pick-up anytime you’d like. 
We recommend you start from course 1 and progress through all 5 courses. Certification is awarded after each course.
