Courses and programs have been created by industry experts who work with entrepreneurs and small business owners and understand exactly their struggles.

Courses and programs are filled with actionable, bit-sized information in a highly engaging format to encourage course completion.

All courses and programs have live group sessions with the instructor so you can ask all of your questions and get tailored feedback and insights on your assignments. For assignments, we encourage you to use your business case so that you start implementing your learnings right away.

A program has a start and end date, with weekly or biweekly Q&A and review group calls. A program also includes assignments to be completed before each review call.

A course can be completed anytime. Once completed, and after you submit your assignment, you will receive the schedule for the upcoming Review group calls for you to pick from.

Courses and programs on Skill Surfing have been developed with you in mind, the entrepreneur, solopreneur, or small business owner. Instructors understand the need of small businesses to optimize resources and budgets and their limitations can also be of personal and emotional nature.

Once you complete a course and submit your assignment, the instructor will review it and give you tailored feedback based on your business and industry during the review session. He or she might share additional insights and strategies that you can use, if needed.

Once you join a program, you will complete a small questionnaire about you and your business. This helps the instructor identify your exact objectives and needs, understand your industry and business and give you tailored feedback during the review sessions.

We blend self-paced learning with live coaching. The lessons and modules are recorded but the Q&A and Review calls take place live.

We do not offer certification upon completion of courses as we believe integrating the knowledge and implementing directly on your business is more valuable than the certificate itself. It also allows for higher knowledge retention, better transfer of skills, and a longer-term impact on your business.
