Small businesses are the engines of growth in our economy. It's about time a nation-wide entrepreneurship education program was available to help us.

GoForth Institute exists to improve the odds of success of Canadian entrepreneurs. We deliver best-practices, instant traction web-based and classroom-based entrepreneurship education and ongoing support for people who are thinking of starting, ready to start or wanting to grow a small business.

With help from over 200 successful Canadian entrepreneurs - we designed a new category of adult entrepreneurship education - comprehensive, fast, affordable and vital business knowledge for start-up and growth businesses.

GoForth courses are real-time and convenient - delivered in 10 hours through our web-based education, or in 24 hours through our weekly or weekend classes taught by qualified instructors who are business owners themselves.

At GoForth Institute, we believe that effective, relevant, affordable and convenient entrepreneurship education should be accessible to everyone in Canada. Our courses are offered over the web to anyone who wants the convenience of learning from home, or in classrooms in 12 cities across Canada. Our mobile entrepreneurship education group can also deliver our essential training in smaller centres to groups of 15 or more.

We know that starting and growing a small business can be challenging - so we want to help when the going gets tough. We offer on-going support through the GoForth 1 to 1 Support Program, an electronic community of small business learners, owners and business experts who are there to help guide the start-up and growth path.

Our commitment to providing the best entrepreneurship education in Canada doesn't end there. GoForth has teamed up with Vision Critical™ to conduct innovative new research with our nation's entrepreneurs - every 6 months the pulse of Canadian entrepreneurs is taken with GoForth's National Entrepreneurship Sentiment Survey™. We want to know what they're thinking, what's happening, and how we can help to improve their odds.

The need for entrepreneurship education is clear - of the 130,000 small businesses that start in Canada every year, only 30% will see their fifth birthday. That is - until now.
