Complete Business Brokerage Start Up Training and Resources
Our comprehensive In Class Training includes a pre-class assignment. Most students complete the assignment in about 10 hours. Then, the education continues with students attending five days of in-class training in our Training Conference facilities located in Greensboro, NC. We start instruction each day at 9:00 and conclude by 5:00. Students work on homework and some assignments after class. The small class size (maximum five students) allows for group discussion and debate, plenty of time for questions and accommodates individual learning objectives. And, the learning doesn’t end on Friday; students are provided a business action plan and follow up mentoring/coaching calls to assist with initial listings.
Upon completion of all course materials, assignments, and scoring a passing grade of 80 or above on the final exam, students are awarded the GSBB Designation – Graduate of the School of Business Brokerage.
