The Academy is a 13 week programme, with weekly live group mentoring sessions, short video lessons and tailor-made workbooks, specific to the course. Kids on the course are guided step-by-step from ideas to implementation. They learn everything, from making their own logo to launching their own website!
๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐!
BizKidz can choose to learn in whichever learning style engages them the best and at their own pace. Visual learners will love the short video lessons delivered weekly. Social learners will be able to learn from their peers in group calls and within the BizKids Community. Solitary learners can move through lesson content and workbooks at their own pace. Regardless of style, learners will all end the course business savvy and ready to sell!
Through the Academy, kids will see tangible results that they can continue to grow after the course. They will learn to set their own milestones and grow their own ideas with the gentle help of our business coach, Cheryl. The course will encourage kids to make choices now that will have a great, and positive, influence on their future.

If you're not sure on your business ideas, can't wait for the next BizKidz Academy course, or you want to simply try the course without committing to the main event yet, try our short course! The BizKidz Start-Up Plan can be completed in 90 minutes, or can be stretched across a couple of days. It follows a similar structure to the Academy, with worksheets and video lessons, but it's all completely independent.

Those aged 14 and up could benefit more from our Teenpreneur Academy course! Teenpreneur is made with teens in mind and is perfect for teens who want to set themselves apart from the crowd whilst gaining skills to be independent. The course follows a similar structure to BizKidz, but is more age appropriate to teenagers and will give them the tools they need to make money on their own.
Some teens may prosper in a more mature environment, amongst others of their age. Over 14s can still sign up for BizKidz Academy, though we are happy to provide them with their own, more comfortable space.

Natalie ~ Lauren's Mum
I decided to give BizKidz a go to give my daughter a confidence push in the business world! She had the business idea and had started the creations but was very lost in where it was all going. With the help of Cheryl, she has now managed to really get to the final point of her business. The course is excellent as it guides the children step-by-step in all the areas they need to start a business. I even think I have learned from it and I have been in business for 20 years! I would definitely recommend BizKidz for any child who has an idea but doesn’t know how to get that idea out to the public!
Helen ~ Freya's Mum
Just want to say a big thank you to Cheryl at BizKidz for giving my daughter the head start she needed in creating her own business!! The support, ideas, lessons, and insight provided is second to none and is made age-relevant and fun. My daughter has also made friends with all the other mini entrepreneurs who all encourage each other to do well. Highly recommend this fabulous programme.

BizKidz has helped me to start my business and bring my ideas to life. There were so many questions I had and I didn’t know where to start. Cheryl has helped me to focus and move forward. It’s been so exciting and I can’t wait to see my business grow.
Step-By-Step Guidance
BizKidz will have access to a dedicated App to support you even when on the go, pre-recorded lessons can be consumed at a time and place to suit them. With bite-size video lessons and downloadable workbooks delivered weekly, they will have plenty of time to fit the learning and implementation around school, hobbies, and other commitments. BizKidz Academy will move them from buzzing business ideas, through logical learning steps, and help them produce their own new business start-up! They are invited to weekly live and interactive Academy video meetings with Cheryl Dodd. These meetings add a layer of learning to the Academy, offer support and help as well as building relationships with other BizKidz as they work in smaller groups in the breakout rooms.
Bonding Over Business
Founder and Business Mentor Cheryl Dodd has developed this course based on her own experience with daughter Issy. Issy had lost motivation and interest in her school work but was full of exciting business ideas! Issy had decided that she really wanted to set up a slime business and so asked her mum for help. Cheryl followed the structure of a course she had already been working on to support Issy's desire to start her slime business, which led to Issy's success (and the creation of the BizKidz Academy). What came as the biggest surprise was how enjoyable this time together became, working on and developing Issy's ideas daily. It really was "quality time" spent bonding over the business!
Supportive Community
Once kids are enrolled and the Academy opens they will have access to our buzzing and supportive Academy Community Area. This is similar to a social media group though it is only accessible to those enrolled on the course and does not require any of the children to have a social media account. Within this community area, pupils and parents can share work, ideas and progress. It's a great space to support and help each other. There is also a Q&A thread within this area where questions can be posted at any time. This way nothing will be missed and pupils can help each other past getting stuck. Questions will be answered 3 times a week (at least), Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We cannot wait to watch this community create, learn and develop together!
Business
Mentoring
Our founder, Cheryl Dodd, has a huge variety of experience and learning to share with the younger generation of future business leaders, after 22 years of creating and leading various profitable businesses. All BizKidz (and parents) will have access to weekly live group mentoring sessions with Cheryl, who has developed this course based on real life experience with her daughter. This experience alone is why she knows how to get kids engaged with business. Together, they will be practising maths that matters; calculating profit margins, sales planning and cashflow forecasting to create realistic budgets and financial planning for the future. Academy members will be using their research and creative copywriting skills to create marketing material and website content to prepare their products or to sell.
