The PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE PROGRAM is a Program to help you set up, run and grow your own small business. The PPP® seminars cover the four pillars of business (i.e., strategy, finance, marketing and human resources), plus entrepreneurship. Each seminar covers a different business topic and there is ample opportunity to apply each topic to your own developing business.

There are five levels of training, with ten seminars held at each level. The first year is offered annually. Remaining years are offered on alternating years. If you miss a seminar, you can make it up in future years. You are also welcome to revisit seminars as often as you like. From 2010, we are offering the PPP® starred seminars. These seminars will provide an opportunity to further develop your business skills. The PPP® starred seminars are open to all PPP® students who have completed the first year of training. Five starred PPP® seminars will be offered each year.

A Certificate of Professional Practice will be awarded to those who have completed PPP® seminars 1-10. A Certificate of Advanced Professional Practice will be awarded to those who have attended PPP® seminars 11-20. The Certificate of Distinguished Professional Practice will be awarded to those who have attended seminars 21-30. The Certificate of Entrepreneurial Professional Practice will be awarded to those who have attended seminars 31-40. And, the Advanced Entrepreneurial Professional Practice will be awarded to those who have completed seminars 41-50. A Starred Certificate of Professional Practice will be awarded to those who have completed ten starred PPP® seminars.

Our graduation ceremonies take place in December of each year.
