Internet Business Teaching
Our staff have so much experience in internet business that we don't just build websites, we teach people how to build businesses. We are currently teaching two courses through WEA in SA: "How to Get Your Business Online" (a 2-day course) and "How to Sell on eBay" (a 3.5 hour course).
If you are interested in attending one (or both!) of these courses, we would love to see you there. To book, go to the WEA website (look under "Internet" courses). These classes book out pretty quickly, so it is a good idea to book as soon as you can. The details of each course are below.
