Entrepreneurial training and vocational development involves much more than simply transferring technical knowledge.  Because entrepreneurship is essentially, made up of values and attitudes, training in this field must consist of developing self-management and relying on personal abilities and skills.

Entrepreneurship and SME Training at Université Laval
 Within the framework of the Business Administration programs, the Centre has developed a course in entrepreneurship and small businesses. This course includes certain classes that can be followed in class or at-a-distance.  For more information, please consult the Entrepreneurship and Small Business Training website (in French only).

Training and Certification Program for Small Business Counsellors
 Since January of 2003, the Centre offers a program dedicated to mediators (advisors, consultants) that work in business start-up.  This high-quality training meets international standards and allows workers to test their skills, both for the trainer and the trainee.  For more information, please consult the Programme international pour la formation et l'accréditation des conseillers aux PME web site.

    Teaching equipment
     The Centre has developed three televised courses that are directly taken from the Bachelor of Business Administration undergraduate degree.  They focus specifically on the concentration of entrepreneurship at the management level. Those courses are only given in French:

    The Centre has also created three new courses for the diplôme de 2e cycle en entrepreneuriat technologique (2nd cycle graduate degree in entrepreneurship technology). These new courses were initiated in the fall of 1996.  The Science of Administration faculty and the Sciences and Engineering faculty, in collaboration with Entrepreneuriat Laval and the Director of Continuing Education introduced these courses. These classes also contribute to 1st and 2nd cycle micro-programs in Entrepreneuriat et PME (Entrepreneurship and Small businesses):

    Please note that these courses are only given in French
