What we found
TrustMyCourse read the published syllabus directly. The five advertised units were present, running from the elements of entrepreneurship through building a team, the business plan and marketing strategy to financing a new venture, and the syllabus is readable without logging in. It states the course is entirely free to enrol in and to access, and that everything linked within it, including textbooks, videos, webpages and activities, is available at no charge. Around thirty-nine hours of study, with a free certificate requiring seventy percent or higher on a final exam.
