Entrepreneurship Certificate Program
The Entrepreneurship Certificate is designed specifically for members of the business community, who are either starting a new business or in the planning stages. The program will provide valuable information, not only in the critical area of legal issues, but step-by-step workshop-type classes to help with business ownership issues such as determining the appropriate legal form in which the business should operate and creating the initial business plan. Because some of the leading causes of failure in new businesses are legal problems, lack of adequate capitalization and managing your initial capital investment, this program was created to provide specific information in these areas to help you make good decisions to ensure your success.
Many of the courses in the program are designed with the busy professional in mind. Some classes are accelerated so each lecture meets for a longer period of time and the courses are broken into smaller units that do not require a full semester 18-week commitment. In addition, some of the classes are hybrids wherein part of the course is online so the students can do part of the course work at their convenience at home or at work.
There are two courses in the Intellectual Property Series. It is highly recommended that both courses are taken so the business professional can fully understand the many Intellectual Property issues impacting business today.
The Saddleback College Entrepreneurship Certificate Program is offered at South Orange County Community College District's newest campus, the Advanced Technology & Education Park (ATEP), in Tustin, right off the 5 and 55 freeways to conveniently serve the business community in Orange County.
