"learning by doing".

Programs are conducted using advanced electronic classrooms, 
computer applications with a wide selection of software, and 
training in the evolving use of market research tools such as

other databank services. Seminars include: Communicating with the 
world using networks, international trade resources, online 
databases, business applications of the Internet and techniques 
for searching across systems and files.

These programs are designed to provide a specific product, a usable
business plan.They are arranged with a wide range of participants 
in mind, from executive training to small business start-up,  from
