Admission Steps

1. Complete Application. The admissions process begins with completing our online application. If you want to meet with one of our education consultants before completing your application, you can schedule your executive briefing.

2. Non-Refundable Enrollment Deposit
Once you’ve completed your application, you will be asked to process a non-refundable enrollment deposit of $500. Your deposit holds your spot in your chosen cohort, applies toward your full investment for the program if you move forward, and covers your admission orientation and advising. Please note that the enrollment deposit does not mean you’re legally responsible for investing in the full program. However, if your application is not accepted, you will receive a 50% refund.

3. Submit Follow-Up Application
After your enrollment deposit is processed, you will receive a link to complete your Follow-Up Application. This form gathers detailed business information, including your business structure, operations, and current challenges, which prepares us for your admission orientation and business analysis. This step must be completed within 7 days to finalize your application.

4. Admission Orientation and Business Analysis
Once you complete your follow-up application, we will schedule your admission orientation session. During this session, you will have the opportunity to choose your payment plan. After completing your orientation, we will conduct a detailed business analysis to help prepare you for the first few months of the program.

5. Attend CORE Seminar
After confirming your payment plan, and completing your admission orientation, you will attend our CORE Seminar. This seminar introduces you to the foundational systems and strategies we use, ensuring you’re fully prepared to move forward in the program. The seminar also provides an opportunity for a deeper exploration of your business needs, which will be addressed in your upcoming sessions.

6. Begin Program!
After completing the above steps, you will attend CORE24 orientation to prepare for strategic work, access the Education and Learning Portal (ELP), receive your materials, and set up your education calendar, including a 10-15-week ramp-up schedule. Your ramp-up schedule will include:

  • Training sessions and coaching to organize your documentation strategy.
  • Defining your education work schedule to implement what you’re learning.
  • Access to your curriculum, resources, and development tracks through our ELP.
  • Scheduling your credential interview to determine if the credential track aligns with your business goals.
  • Planning events, training, and courses needed to complete your program.

Application Considerations

Applicants are reviewed based on years in business, type of business, a desire to thrive through collaboration and shared experiences, and a willingness to learn, grow, and inspire inside and outside of their organizations.

Our commitment is to build an enterprising and active cohort with varying backgrounds, ideas, and experiences — to maximize intellectual dialogue and enrich your entrepreneurship education experience.

Each cohort size is limited to 18-20 scholars, to guarantee high-touch guidance, engagement, and support with faculty and peers.

The full program is delivered in English. We recommend scholars be proficient at speaking and writing in English.

Applications are reviewed as we receive them, and admission is offered on a rolling basis until all seats are filled so it is in your best interest to apply early.

Our policy is once the program begins, after 90 days, we do not offer refunds. You can always join the next cohort with approval, with complete access to the full program.
