The REAL Entrepreneurship Institute is a 5 day, 33-38 contact-hour course that prepares high school, post-secondary, and community-based organization educators to teach REAL Entrepreneurship. Institute participants interact with experienced REAL facilitators, prepare lesson and course plans, and experience the highlights of the REAL course as their students will. The $1,000 tuition includes training and most meals.

Institute participants will be fully trained to use all the activities in the REAL Entrepreneurship curriculum.
