Have you ever wondered if there is a place on the Internet, which helps you in getting to know the basics of entrepreneurship? Well, there is one – free e-learning platform developed under Erasmus+ Let’s Guide project.

It offers a substantial course for people who are interested in entrepreneurship and want to pursue a career in this area or develop some entrepreneurial skills. Its biggest advantage is that it is very interactive with many real-life examples, quizzes and videos. 

The platform consists of several sections. Each of them is dedicated to different skill, which is then thoroughly examined. These are motivation, leadership, resilience, communication, creativity & innovativeness. At the start of each part of the course, you can find the learning objectives summarizing what you can learn in the given section. All sections have similar content to each other. Within them you can usually find explanations on what the analysed skill is and why is it important in the area of entrepreneurship, pieces of advice on how can you implement it in your daily life and which mistakes you need to avoid. The whole content is highly inspiring and precise with additional resources linked to it such as YouTube videos and web articles. What is more, to consolidate your knowledge you will be asked some questions after each small part of the presentation and have a chance to solve the bigger test after the whole section.

Effective learning is supported also by the series of animated videos. These help to stimulate your mind for problem solving as they present a specific problematic situation and after the time for thinking about it, also possible solutions.

E-learning platform consists also of interviews with entrepreneurs who share their stories and advice for the viewers. This is the technique of storytelling, which helps in conveying message, information and knowledge to an audience in the entertaining way. It is a very useful tool in learning as it helps to actively stimulate it.
