Course Description
The SOBE is a 12-week YWAM school with in-depth training that shifts students understanding of business, while providing a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals needed for a successful Business as Mission venture. The school can be taken online or in a classroom cohort, with the core instruction taking place through over 525 short videos divided into almost as many learning segments. Students are presented with regular questions and exercises that promote learning and application to each concept taught. Live staff one-on-ones, coaching sessions and weekly school processing times supplement the instruction. Pre-recording the curriculum and delivering it online results in every student, regardless of location and financial resources, receiving the same quality instructions.
The Lecture Phase
We also offer an online option to our 12-week SOBE Cohort. This online school option is accessible via YWAM Colorado Springs BAM Programme. Click here for more info.
Students will be based at our YWAM campus in Nelson, New Zealand.
This will process together in depth what they are learning. Many of these class times will be facilitated by a SOBE staff person. Several of the 12 weeks of instruction will also be facilitated by the speaker teaching in the online videos. The Cohort students will also interact with online students. This means participating on Friday live zoom events with all the students around the globe and with that week’s instructors.
