About the program
The Fordax 12-week non-academic MBA program is designed for ambitious executives, entrepreneurs and organizational leaders who want to gain practical business skills that can be immediately applied to their careers, organizations or businesses. Our non-academic MBA is designed to meet the needs of busy professionals who want to advance their careers without spending every work-day in class, over 12 million naira on school fee and going through some archaic business education that cannot address today’s challenges.
“The Fordax 12-week MBA is designed for people who want to level up fast without the time or cost of a traditional MBA. It’s practical, focused on real-world business challenges, and perfect for busy entrepreneurs, professionals, and leaders. You won’t get lost in theory — instead, you’ll learn skills you can apply right away. Plus, the flexibility lets you keep working while you study, and the price is a tiny fraction of what traditional MBAs charge. It’s all about getting the knowledge and tools you need, without sacrificing your career or breaking the bank.”
The Fordax MBA is different!
This MBA program is tailored for people who are already working, managing businesses, leading a visionary organization and teams, — people who may not have the time or money to attend a traditional, full-time MBA program.
Although this MBA is not a degree program, it is designed to match the rigor of a traditional MBA, with a strong emphasis on real-world, contemporary business challenges. It is a skills-focused and practical business education program, suitable for individuals who are looking for useful insights, quick learning curve, focused studies in business, entrepreneurship, leadership and management.
This program is designed to:
1. Fit into your busy schedules with flexible class timings, so you can continue working and balancing personal commitments.
2. Provide relevant, hands-on skills that you can apply immediately in your jobs or businesses, without needing to stop working.
3. Offer a shorter and more focused curriculum, avoiding the need for long academic commitments, so you can upgrade your skills quickly and efficiently.
