SOLUTIONS THAT WORK FOR YOU

Enterprise CUBE does training a little differently.  We believe in giving people easy straight forward answers and tools, not loading them down with notes, theories and jargon that are forgotten as soon as you’re back to the real world.

To help us to achieve this we’ve outlawed a few things from our courses, like excessive jargon and role-play exercises, but far more interesting are the things we do get up to:

We have fun,
We talk with people, not at them,
We focus on core principles, and
We show how to use these in any situation.

and whats more:

We use real life examples,
We only use experienced entrepreneurs as trainers, and
We share our enterprise experiences, good and bad.

WANT SUPPORT THAT WORKS

Our Strive projects have helped hundreds of people from all walks of life to start their own businesses through training, support and advice.  Strive is an exciting and fun project where you and the CUBE team of experienced entrepreneurs get together and help launch your business.

“At first I found doing an online course a bit weird, but I could fill in questions whenever I wanted to, got to watch videos to understand more about business and best of all I got to join the Strive team on Facebook afterwards – where we can all ask questions whenever we want and get advice and feedback.”

Pearl
Striving Entrepreneur

“This is truly a programme not to be missed! The CUBE team are so positive. They don’t rush, criticise or give negative feedback. They only remain professional but down to earth and have a great sense of humour. All I can say is that just follow your heart and you will not fail with the CUBE team behind your tail!”

Hannah
Striving Entrepreneur

“I would say that it’s the perfect solution to ‘out of collage’ training as it fits around your life, doing this course gives you the tools you need to make it work! This course was perfect for me as it fitted in with my family life as a mum, it gave me the confidence and information I needed to go for it. It’s brilliant!”

POP-UP PROJECTS

ENTERPRISE IN ACTION

We don’t use Pop-Up to talk business, when we run pop-ups it’s to get out there and run micro-enterprise projects.  Pop-up projects are usually short-run projects making use of unwanted spaces to pop up and run a shop, restaurant, workspace, or indeed any project.

“I cannot say enough about the studio space and the course. The space provided me with a great place to work…and it was great for meeting clients and other start-ups too.”
