FAQ

The duration of the training varies based on the program you choose and the level of effort you want to apply. There are required and optional activities, so you can do more if you choose. You have access to the training for the subscription period you choose.

Yes. Plus live sessions upon request.

There are no tests, but there are performance evaluations throughout the training that allow you to assess your own knowledge and skills. And, at the end of the training, the businessXP team will review and validate your achievements and you will be awarded a certificate based upon your level of achievement.

This is high-quality training but not high pressure. You progress at your own pace. You choose the level of depth you want to experience. There are no deadlines, no meaningless academic exercises, and no pressure-inducing tests.

You will earn a certificate, but not a degree or diploma.

A degree (and sometimes a diploma) costs thousands of dollars and years of your time. Decades of bureaucracy and old-school thinking controls how degrees and diplomas are granted. This legacy infrastructure has continually increased the price of education at colleges and universities that grant degrees and diplomas.

Most of the money that students pay for degrees and diplomas does not go to improve their education, but to support the enormous infrastructure of classrooms, buildings, campuses, administration, and big salaries.

businessXP circumvents this old-school way of thinking, allowing you to gain more business and life skills faster and at a more affordable price.

Some careers require degrees and diplomas. You cannot be a doctor, lawyer, teacher, or engineer without one. Some other careers are similar. But, not business. Not entrepreneurship. While some employers may prefer to hire a person with a degree or diploma, many will hire the person with the best skills. Our objective is to give you the best skills.

Thousands of schools and Fortune 500 companies around the world use elements of the businessXP in their own curricula, but businessXP is the only program that brings together all of the resources into one amazing training experience.

WARNING: Be careful of "diploma mills" — an institution or organization that grants large numbers of educational degrees or diplomas based on inadequate or inferior education and assessment of the recipients.

businessXP is Fully Game-Based Experiential Learning

MBA stands for Masters of Business Administration. Accredited MBA programs typically require that you already have a college degree, and they tend to cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Recently, some organizations have been offering what they describe as mini or micro-MBA programs that are shorter and less expensive, but most of these programs are not accredited, which means you will not earn a Masters of Business Administration.

Successful businesspeople and employers have mixed feelings about the value of an MBA.

We believe businessXP is a better option to start with. With businessXP you will learn more about business in less time than any other method. And, the experience can also help you discover if you may want to also enroll in an MBA program. Doing businessXP first will save you much time and money, and if you do choose to continue to an MBA, you will have gained knowledge and skills that will help propel you to the head of the class.

Here's How Business Schools Teach

You might miss being on campus and socializing with friends. businessXP has no campus, no clubs, no sports teams.

But here’s what you will not miss: Huge tuition costs, repaying a student loan for years, sitting through boring lectures, cramming for high-pressure tests, commuting, juggling your schedule, questioning why you are learning what you are learning, and missing out on years of your earnings.

businessXP saves you time and money so that you can choose the direction of your life sooner and with more options ahead of you. And, if you choose to go to college after you complete businessXP, you will be better positioned to achieve better grades and be at the top of your class.

What Will I Miss by Not Attending a Conventional Business School?

If you have the time, motivation, and cognitive ability to learn on your own, you can learn the basics of almost anything by searching for free resources on the Internet.

But, it will take you years of effort searching for good quality resources and figuring out how to structure them in the proper order. All the while having to sit through countless advertisements. And, some of the best resources are not free, so you will likely have to end up paying to access them or lose out on their benefits.

In addition, businessXP uses the most advanced business games and simulations ever invented, some of which are not available to the general public.
