High-value learning on the go

A traditional business training course wouldn’t work for entrepreneur Kelvin Kang’ethe, owner of Anchor Technologies. Because of his customer’s demands, he needed a flexible programme that would deliver high value for the limited time he was able to invest—and that’s exactly what he found in AMI’s GYB programme, sponsored by KCB Bank Kenya.

“It’s suitable mostly for people in business like myself, where I don’t have to spend my whole day in class,” he explains. Because participants choose their own topics of study, and most of the course content is online, Kelvin could gain important skills and knowledge without disrupting his business operations. “You log in to the site, go to the unit that you want to study, download all the materials that you need to download, and you read on the move. It was so easy for me.”

In addition to the programme’s flexibility, Kelvin also appreciated how its practical insights strengthened his overall business strategy. “Grow Your Business has completely changed my approach to how I do business,” he says. He has shifted to focusing on corporate accounts that are more robust and provide regular orders. As a result, his profits have increased and his debts have decreased.

“Grow your business was such an eye opener because it’s made me start now realizing what I’m doing here, knowing my business better,” Kelvin explains.
