Short Course
April 4, 2025
Short Courses are especially designed to give your students a compact, yet thorough understanding of Entrepreneurship and the Tourism sector. They will receive the tools to actually make a start on their venture.
The course consists out of 10 days. A tailer made program for your University also would be an option.
Short Courses are insightful, interactive and include much more than just lectures. Potentially guest lectures and company visits will be included and field research is possible as well.
Typically the following content is covered during a Short Course:
In case a shorter or longer program would be desirable, we are flexible in designing you a special program, tailored to your needs.
Our short courses are generally taught at Business Universities, Universities providing education around Tourism or programs focusing on Entrepreneurship.
At Level Entrepreneurship, the Short Courses are typically designed for Universities promoting a practical and hands-on approach within the education they provide. Such an approach is deeply rooted in our DNA and we are thrilled to share these lessons with your students.
The courses we teach, normally have the following Intended Learning Outcomes (these can be adjusted).
Short Courses are designed based on our teaching methods, combined with a logical sequence of the steps required to launch a business. Throughout the duration of the course, students will do assignments in class, as well as outside of the classroom.
Classes will focus on the early stage decisions any entrepreneur will be taking, the recognition of business opportunities and the understanding of how to turn such concepts into actual businesses. This is the foundation for any healthy business.
Moreover, the students will be taught about many of the practicalities any entrepreneur needs to have a basic understanding of, making these courses complete and to the point.
Our team knows all about entrepreneurship. Moreover, we have experience in the industries of Tourism, Hospitality & Events.
In order to read prior experiences, please scroll down towards our stories.
Short Courses are always taught in-person, generally at the campus of the University providing the course to their students. We are fully flexible in terms of these arrangements and we will share a list of practical necessities prior to the start, such as (digital) blackboards, writing material and so on.
Our preferred language of teaching is Business English. However, we do speak Spanish as well, enabling hybrid sessions as well (English-Spanish).

‘’I participated in the Entrepreneurship […] course conducted by Olmo Van Beurden at the University of Coimbra, […]. Many friends know about my dream of one day working in recreational diving […]. The course significantly expanded my understanding of issues related to entrepreneurship, the challenges I will undoubtedly face on this journey, and the joys of owning a business. Planning, discipline, respecting clients, financial and marketing planning, identifying target customers, among other topics, are covered by Olmo with great expertise and depth. It is an essential investment for those who want to take the first step into the world of entrepreneurship. I am grateful for all […] care with which Olmo conducts the course. Thank you!”

”I enjoyed how interactive all the lessons were, as well as how the professor always seemed interested in what he was talking about which further motivated the students to work to the best of their ability and apply themselves”
”I enjoyed how interactive it was. we weren’t just reading off a screen and taking notes. we would creat our own lists and what we thought would matter to the class subject and then get the formal answers. this was a really clever way of making us think critically about the course content.”
”The course was taught very well with engaging conversations and possibilities to learn and find things out by thinking ourselves. The Professor has a believe that there is no such things as wrong answers and often tries to engage with every piece of input the students provide which creates a postive enviorment that encourages participation. Sometimes it feels like the answers provided dont matter as much but its a small price to pay for what is gained in return.”
‘’I very much appreciated the knowledge transferred and the real-life cases. It was great that we had the possibility to put into practise our project, detect flaws and correct them.”
‘’Olmo can gather the education, motivation, and knowledge required to lead a class to higher levels of performance’’ – Rui, Owner of a Dental Practice
‘’What I appreciated most, were the practical examples that gave me lots of insights, and the knowledge based in real practice of the teacher’’
