Question 1

What is Core MBA?

Accepted Answer

An online platform with business courses. Each lesson comes in six formats — theory, video, podcast, simulator, quiz, and flashcards — so you can learn the way that works for you. The first lesson of every course is free.

Question 2

Is this a university degree?

Accepted Answer

No. Core MBA is an independent platform focused on practical business skills. It does not grant academic degrees, ECTS credits, or government-recognized diplomas.

Question 3

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Anyone who runs a business, works in one, or wants to understand how businesses work. No prior business education required. Every concept is explained from scratch.

Question 4

Who creates the content?

Accepted Answer

Content is developed by experienced founders, consultants, and business professionals with real-world expertise. Every lesson is built to be practical, not theoretical.

Question 5

How is Core MBA different from YouTube or free courses?

Accepted Answer

Structure and practice. Free content gives you information. Core MBA gives you a system: theory, video, podcast, a simulator where you practice decisions, a quiz, and flashcards. Six angles on one concept instead of one video you forget by tomorrow.

Question 6

How do I sign up?

Accepted Answer

Click Start Learning on the homepage and create an account with your email. No credit card required. You get immediate access to the first lesson of every course.

Question 7

Do I need any prior knowledge?

Accepted Answer

No. Every concept is explained from scratch with real examples. No business degree or experience required.

Question 8

Which course should I start with?

Accepted Answer

Start with whatever interests you most. If unsure, Business Fundamentals or Marketing are great entry points. There is no required order.

Question 9

Can I try before I buy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The first lesson of every course is completely free, including all six learning formats. No credit card needed.

Question 10

How do the courses work?

Accepted Answer

Each course has 5 lessons. Every lesson includes six formats: written theory, a video explainer, a podcast episode, an interactive business simulator, a scenario-based quiz, and flashcards. You can go through them in any order.

Question 11

What are the six learning formats?

Accepted Answer

Theory (read in ~7 min), Video (visual walkthrough of the key idea), Podcast (listen on the go), Simulator (make decisions in a realistic scenario), Quiz (scenario-based, not definitions), and Flashcards (key terms and concepts).

Question 12

What are the simulations?

Accepted Answer

You get a role and a real business situation. You make decisions, the scenario reacts. At the end you see what worked, what didn’t, and why. It tests whether you can apply the concept, not just recall it.

Question 13

Do I have to use all six formats?

Accepted Answer

No. Use whatever works for you. Some people read the theory and jump to the simulator. Others listen to the podcast on their commute and do the quiz later. All formats cover the same core concept.

Question 14

Can I choose which courses to take?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Start with any course — Marketing, Finance, Negotiation, AI, or any other. There’s no fixed order, though some courses reference concepts from others.

Question 15

How long does a course take?

Accepted Answer

Each lesson takes about 30–45 minutes if you go through all six formats. A full course (5 lessons) takes roughly 3–4 hours. The entire catalog is around 50–70 hours depending on your pace.

Question 16

Is my progress saved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your progress is saved automatically across all devices. Pick up exactly where you left off, whether you switch from phone to laptop or come back days later.

Question 17

Can I retake lessons or quizzes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can revisit any lesson, replay simulations, and retake quizzes as many times as you want. There are no limits.

Question 18

How quickly can I apply what I learn?

Accepted Answer

Immediately. Every lesson ends with a practical framework or tool you can use in your business right away. The simulator lets you practice before you apply.

Question 19

Do I get a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Completion tracking is built into the platform. You can see which lessons and courses you’ve finished in your dashboard.

Question 20

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The first lesson of every course is free. A single module (5 lessons, all 6 formats) costs €9.99. Full access to all 16 modules costs €39.99. Both are one-time payments — no subscriptions, no recurring fees.

Question 21
