2015 DIPLOMA OF BUSINESS

PERSONAL LETTER FROM BSCHOOL CO FOUNDERS. Hello and welcome to BSchool, The inspiration behind BSchool for us was to create an education model we would have liked to use during our journey. People think there is no science behind being an entrepreneur. The reality is, there is a method. BSchool brings this method to life. Entrepreneurial education is not just about being an entrepreneur, it s about teaching entrepreneurial thinking so you can be more dynamic in your approach to all areas of business. At BSchool, you never graduate; you become part of a likeminded community who will help you through the rest of your journey. We inject the DNA of our B Faculty, consisting of eight of Australia s top entrepreneurs, into a course that gives you all the skills necessary to take an idea from ideation to commercialisation. This Diploma of Business is not just about theory, it gives you practical lessons on business throughout each unit, directly from a successful entrepreneur in their area of expertise. As a BSchool graduate you will be ready to hit the ground running to advance your career, launch your own Startup or take your existing business or company to the next level. We wish you the best on your journey. Ryan Trainor & David Trewern
