Programme Comparison

Which plan fits where you are now?

Three distinct learning tracks - each designed around a different stage of business plan development. The differences are not cosmetic: depth, feedback, and output vary substantially between them.

"Most people pick the wrong track because they overestimate how much they already know about financial modelling. Start one level lower than feels comfortable - the progression is fast."

How to read this comparison

Each column represents a self-contained programme. Features marked with a filled indicator are included in full - not as brief mentions, but as assessed, practised components. Hover to see what changes most between tracks.

The biggest jump is between Practitioner and Advanced

Advanced introduces investor-grade sensitivity analysis, live peer critique sessions, and a full reviewed business plan as the final output. The workload roughly doubles compared to Practitioner.

Typical learner profile per track

Foundation Early-stage founders, career changers, and employees preparing an internal proposal for the first time.

Practitioner Those who have drafted a plan before but received no structured feedback, or whose plan was rejected by a lender.

Advanced Consultants, senior managers, and repeat founders preparing plans for equity investors or grant applications.

No peer review, so blind spots in the plan may go unnoticed
Not designed for equity investor presentations
Alumni network access but no mentorship matching
