My Own Business, Inc. (MOBI) offers a complete package for a facilitator to promote, organize and conduct our course which covers the fundamentals of starting a business. The course addresses all the basic disciplines that new business start-ups face today and has been successfully taught in classrooms, seminars and workshops since 1992.
WHO CAN TEACH THE COURSE?
It is important that all MOBI facilitators are knowledgeable and confident in presenting the course content.
The My Own Business course is presented by facilitators who are qualified either as Professional Educators or Business Professionals:
a. Professional Educators: Educators with a current teaching credential and are affiliated with an educational institution are not required to complete the Certificate Course; however we highly recommend that you do. Educators completing the Certificate Course will be included in the MOBI data base of qualified facilitators.
or
b. Business Professionals: Individuals wishing to teach our course but do not have a current teaching credential are required to enroll in our Certificate Course. Please see: http://www.myownbusiness.org/certificate_course.html. After completing the Certificate Course, you will receive a Certificate of Completion and your name will be included in the MOBI data base of qualified facilitators.
Business Professionals not affiliated with educational institutions are required to sign and return the Course Presentation Agreement. This agreement includes provisions regarding terms of use, copyright information and agreement that each student be provided a copy of the My Own Business textbook. (Click Here to see Course Presentation Agreement.)
MOBI does not hire facilitators. Our job is to provide you with the information and materials you need to facilitate our course in your own classroom.
CLASSROOM COURSE and MATERIALS
Our objective is to provide a comprehensive course for qualified facilitators to successfully teach the basic disciplines entrepreneurs must know before starting or operating a business.
The MOBI course content has been created by professionals and successful entrepreneurs and is continuously updated, expanded and enhanced. As an added bonus, students are encouraged to go online to www.myownbusiness.org for free access to fifty-two audio/video clips, business plan templates, forums and business resources. This creates an effective blended learning experience: your classroom, and our textbook and website.
The materials furnished by MOBI include:
- The My Own Business Textbook is the printed version of our online course and covers all 14 sessions.
The Start-up Kit follows the final session and is a comprehensive checklist of steps to be completed before opening and operating a business. We require each student have a textbook in order to insure a meaningful learning experience and provide a permanent manual of information for future reference.
- The Facilitator's Guide provides recommendations for scheduling and presenting the course. Also included are ideas and suggestions which encourage interaction between participants and allow for flexibility.
- The PowerPoint Presentation CD helps the facilitator to successfully conduct the class with ease and expertise. The CD contains a detailed outline for all 14 sessions which can be used both in presenting and reviewing course materials. A written version is available to download if desired.
