The developers of the Mini MBA course in its creation sought to meet 2 key needs of potential students:
- intensive education and development of the business sphere without loss of current work,
- the opportunity to study the entire management system in a short time, and not individual items.
The process of studying under the Mini MBA program
The education takes place in an interactive format, participants get acquainted with the theoretical part, consider how companies work, participate in the implementation of independent and group tasks, and based on the results of work, they deduce errors, analyze them and eliminate them in the future. When the inter-module period begins, the participant can return to doing his job or developing his own business, apply the skills gained in the course and see what impact the new mechanics had on the success of the case. Half a month after completing the module, participants attend a session where they discuss the problems encountered during the application of new skills in practice, analyze them with the teacher, share successes and results.
How is the knowledge assessed in the course?
After passing each of the 6 modules, the student must pass a test on the knowledge of the program. To pass the exam, you must score at least 60% of the correct answers. In addition to testing the theory, students are engaged in writing a graduation thesis, where they talk about the experience of applying new skills in practice.
There are no clear requirements for the size of the written work, its content and informativeness are more appreciated. Clearly structured text without unnecessary words will be rated higher than a large document of 15 pages, a large information from which can be omitted. If there are no requirements for the size of the work, then there are clear recommendations for its structure that should be followed:
- it is necessary to give a description of the company or situation where the student tried to implement the information received;
- what difficulties, bottlenecks and obstacles arose in the process;
- what the student did to get around the problem;
- what results and conclusions can be drawn from the work done.
Teachers who examine the report of the ward assess how rational his actions were, correctly and appropriately applied the information received in the course, as well as the number of tools used by him in the course of work.
Educational structure
When buying a course, a student can choose a comfortable format for him: full-time, video courses, online. The second format is education on recorded video material at a convenient time, the implementation of the tasks provided on the site, as well as familiarization with educational articles created by teachers. Online learning is similar to face-to-face learning, only the student will be educated with the group through a live video conferencing program.
Regardless of which form of study has been chosen, the student will be issued an authentic diploma of completion of the course and professional education.
When the student completes the edcation, he will be entitled to a tax deduction that allows him to return part of the money spent. The deduction will be paid if the student purchased the course from an educational institution that has a license to conduct educational processes.
Key benefits of the courses
The Mini MBA educational program has become popular due to a wide range of advantages and advantages that attract more and more students annually:
- compactness and comprehensive presentation of knowledge makes it possible to take a useful and informative course in a short time.

- convenient structure. Courses divided into 6 modules, each of which takes place exactly a month, allow students to rationally allocate time for work and education. The student receives theoretical knowledge, gets time to implement them in the case and analysis, the opportunity to discuss the work done with the curators;
- experienced curators and teachers of the courses always have a wealth of practice experience behind them. There are simply no theorists and academic experts who have not been involved in running their own business on abbreviated MBAs;
- teachers who have been running business for more than 15 years share only proven knowledge that is relevant today and available for use. In the abbreviated education program, there are not many topics that will not last six months to study, but key issues are raised. Each piece of information obtained in the classroom, a novice businessman will be able to apply in his business and see what effect he will produce.
