Frequently Asked Questions
Running a business is messy. Confusing. Sometimes you just need someone to explain things without the jargon. That's what we're here for. Below are the questions we hear most often — and honestly, they're the ones we love answering.
We run business courses that don't put you to sleep. Think entrepreneurship fundamentals, marketing that actually works, financial management for people who hate spreadsheets, and sales skills that feel natural. We've designed everything around real problems real business owners face. Whether you're starting from scratch or scaling up, we've got something that'll click for you.
Pricing varies depending on which course you pick — we're not a one-size-fits-all operation. Our shorter workshops run differently than our full programs. We offer payment plans too, because we get it: you're probably reinvesting every rand back into your business. Drop us a line at info@launchacademy.co.za and we'll walk you through the options that make sense for your budget.
It depends on the program. Some of our courses run 4 weeks, others stretch across 12 weeks. We build in flexibility because life happens — client emergencies, supplier issues, family stuff. You're not locked into rigid schedules with us. We'll tell you exactly what you're signing up for before you commit, and we're flexible if you need to adjust pace.
We stand behind what we teach. If you complete the course and honestly feel like it wasn't worth your time, we'll refund your fees within 14 days. No hassle. No questions asked. But here's the thing — most people don't ask for refunds because they actually use what they learn. We're pretty proud of that track record.
We run both. Some sessions happen at our office on Voortrekker Road, and others are fully online so you can study in your pajamas if you want. We mix recorded content, live workshops, and one-on-one feedback depending on the course. Location shouldn't stop you from leveling up your business skills.
Easy. Call us at +27 35 103 9086 — seriously, we answer — or shoot an email to info@launchacademy.co.za. We'll chat about what you're trying to accomplish and match you with the right course. No pressure. No sales pitch. Just a conversation about whether Launch Academy fits what you need right now.
Absolutely. Our online courses reach people all over South Africa. If you're in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban — doesn't matter. The online programs work just as well as anything we run locally. For in-person sessions, we're based in Polokwane, but plenty of people make the trip or catch the recorded versions afterward.
We don't lecture at you. Our approach is built on real experience, not theory that looks good in textbooks. You'll work through actual case studies, get feedback on your specific challenges, and connect with other business owners who get it. We're small enough to care about your progress, but structured enough to actually teach you something.
