Learn to run a business in one year.
13 university-level courses in business, marketing and entrepreneurship. An AI faculty that teaches, grades and re-teaches what you missed, 24/7. Three study days a week. It ends with a real venture of your own.
Four terms. 13 courses. In the order a business needs them.
A whole school in one login.
Not a folder of videos. A calendar, a gradebook, a tutor and a faculty that expects work back from you.
Opens on today: what kind of day it is, what's due, and a promise that everything else can wait.
13 courses, every week planned, full lessons with diagrams, videos and quick checks.
Another explanation, a worked example, a practice quiz or a mock interview. Any hour.
Briefs and rubrics in plain words. Write in the editor or attach files; graded in about a minute.
Written from what you were actually taught. Answer keys sealed until you submit.
Live course grades, GPA and a transcript across all four terms. No inflation.
A living map of every concept: acquired, in progress, or coming back for another pass.
Every study day, due date, quiz, exam and term break for the whole year.
A built-in timer so your 10–12 hours are real and visible.
Your own notebook, with one-tap saving of anything useful the tutor says.
Curated readings, official documentation and hand-verified videos per week.
Storage for every spreadsheet, deck and plan you build along the way.
Learn it. Apply it. Prove it. Get it back if you missed it.
A professor on demand, who never just gives you the answer.
Ask for another angle, a worked example, a practice quiz or a mock interview. Frameworks come as tables you fill in right in the chat and send back for marking. It coaches Socratically and declines to do your graded work, because that would be cheating you.

Real rubrics. Every mark explained. No inflation.
Submit text or attach a spreadsheet, deck or photo. In about a minute you get a mark, per-criterion comments, strengths, and concrete next steps. Resubmit as often as you like; the newest grade counts.
| Criterion | Marks | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Classification of accounts | 25/25 | Every line in the right section, liquidity order correct. |
| Equation balances | 20/25 | Balances, but retained earnings was treated as one year's profit. |
| Working shown | 22/25 | Clear. State units on every line next time. |
| Interpretation | 17/25 | You spotted the liquidity risk. Say what you'd do about it. |
Struggle with something and it comes back.
Every graded piece of work updates your Mastery Log. A weak concept is re-taught from a different angle, practised again and re-tested before the program moves on. Nobody gets left behind by the calendar.
It doesn't end in a certificate. It ends in a business.
The last three months are yours: real customer interviews, a costed and tested venture concept, then a complete investor-grade plan with the marketing and acquisition engine behind it, defended live to a panel.
Case files, not essays.
A sample of the real cases in the syllabus. Every one ends in a decision, a number, or a build.
A fashion retailer whose top line goes up while the bottom line goes down. Read the income statement line by line and find it.
A wholesaler paid on 90-day terms that pays its own suppliers in 30. Compute the cash conversion cycle and say how long it survives.
A delivery business with negative contribution margin per order, where every marketing dollar makes the problem worse.
A 20% discount lifts units 30% and cuts gross profit. Do the arithmetic before the marketing team does the victory lap.
Congestion pricing where the goal isn't revenue but fewer cars. The elasticity of road demand is the whole question.
An e-commerce retailer whose platform dashboards claim more revenue than the business recorded. Find the overlap.
A subscription app with a beautiful signup chart and a month-three cliff. Build the cohort table that reveals it.
A sector where scarcity beats reach and discounting destroys value: everything you learned about marketing, inverted.
An investor-grade plan for a business that is yours, every claim and number defended to a panel.
Serious school. Sane schedule.
Monday learn, Wednesday apply, Friday prove. Tuesday, Thursday and weekends are completely off.
Every business term explained in normal words the first time it appears, with everyday analogies.
Tell us where you live and the faculty teaches with companies and prices from your own market, alongside global brands.
Feedback starts with what you did well, explains every mark, and ends with what to do next.
From $197 for a term, $697 for the whole year, or $79 a month.
Pricing calls, campaign builds, forecasts, brand strategies. When you write, it's a sharp 150–300-word recommendation.
Start with one term, or take the whole year.

Straight answers.
Is this a degree or accredited?
No. Year One is an independent, self-directed program. It is university-level in rigour and structure (real rubrics, transcript, GPA), but it is not a university, it is not accredited by any body, and it does not award a degree or a recognised qualification. You get skills, work you can show, and a venture plan.
Who is it for?
Beginners who are serious. People who want to start a business, who already run a small one and want to run it properly, or who want a real grounding in business and marketing without four years and a student loan. No prior study is assumed.
How much time does it take?
Ten to twelve hours a week across three study days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The final two modules (your venture and the capstone) are more intense, around eleven hours a week for eight weeks.
Who teaches, exactly?
An AI faculty built on frontier language models, working from a fixed teaching and grading policy, with content generated in advance and reviewed. It teaches, coaches, writes and marks quizzes, grades assignments against rubrics, and re-teaches weak concepts. It does not do your graded work for you. There is no live human instructor.
I'm not in the UAE. Does it still work for me?
Yes. At signup you tell us where you live, and the faculty uses companies, prices and examples from your own market alongside global brands. Regulation and tax are taught at a general level with the reminder that rules differ by country.
What happens when my term ends?
Term 1 students can upgrade to the full program at any point by paying the difference. Full-program students receive Terms 2, 3 and 4 as they release, at no extra charge. Monthly students keep access as long as the subscription is active.
What's the refund policy?
Seven days, full refund, provided you haven't completed a lesson, submitted an assignment or started a quiz. Once you've used the program it's yours and no refund is due. Monthly plans can be cancelled at any time; access runs to the end of the paid month. Full policy.
