SIYB Training Program and Support
Studies have shown that over 75% of small businesses do not survive beyond their first birthday due to various reasons including: lack of basic business skills, sentimental biases, no market research done, copy-cat culture, poor costing and profit estimation, to mention but a few.
Do not be a part of these statistics; let us support you start your business on the right foothold and ensure it thrives through to a lasting legacy.

Using our ILO - SIYB certified trainers, we will equip you with the required knowledge, skills and confidence to enable you start your business on a solid foundation, as well as ensuring it thrives and withstands various tempests, using practical and apt techniques.
Financial Literacy Training
Naturally, people form a financial mindset early in life, and that mindset in turn affects their attitudes and behavioral choices regarding money. That is why teaching personal finance is a unique mission that requires specialized expertise to influence each person aptly in order to generate the much needed positive change.
At ADS, we have the right skills and credibility to re-model those financial behaviours. Enroll for our financial literacy sessions and you will be amazed at how quickly you are able to move into action: to build better financial habits and effectually improve your financial situation.
Our Certified Financial Education Instructors have reached out to diverse groups and empowered them with the required knowledge, skills and attitude change that has enabled them to make better financial decisions over time. For some groups, we strongly believe that this is what has given them a chance for financial inclusion!
