We want to see you physically at The Circle. The Circle Academy is not available online. You need to take time away from your business to absorb the training and consolidate your learning through tasks. This means you will be taking time away from business operations. The Circle Academy requires attendance for three days per week for 12 weeks.

We believe that candidates should know the value of the training they are participating in and be prepared to meet the costs. We charge to ensure The Circle is financially sustainable. The Circle Academy is not free to attend. Charities, social enterprises, co-operatives, sole traders and businesses of any stage are all welcome at The Circle Academy, but you do have to be focused on financial sustainability, growth and delivering a social impact. We are actively seeking sponsors to subsidise spaces for people who need assistance with fees. You will have access to co-working space at The Circle for one year. You will have a chance to pitch for this income at the end of our intense 12-week programme. Your enterprise skills will be developed through income-generating tasks.

We offer an intensive training programme over twelve weeks with monthly accountability board meetings thereafter. We want to make sure that we have the best possible line-up for our candidates and that includes people who charge for their time. They understand the personal and professional challenges you will face and draw on their own experiences. The Circle Academy is delivered by people who have owned their own businesses. We have put together a list of pros and cons, so you can choose the best programme for you. We want to be clear about how The Circle Academy compares. We know that if you are starting a More Than Profit business you will be faced with several programmes that could support.
