"I never dreamed of success. I worked for it.I believe that a huge part of the growth in this country’s economy will come from cultivating a culture of entrepreneurship amongst the youth."

Grant Webster

former heavy-hitter at Makro, takealot, Look n Listen, Toy Kingdom and Wefix.

“Over the course of my career, I have always used Red & Yellow as a first filter for advertising and marketing related hires, looking at the institutions graduates first. Why? Because they are always the ones who had business and commercial understanding over and above the advertising and creative side.”

Advance your career, launch a business and get a Certificate that sets you apart.


Designed by expert knowledge partners and experienced entrepreneurs, this course will teach you how to develop, write and polish off a sharp business plan.

  • To set up and lead a business or new initiative that will thrive
  • To pitch your business idea to secure backing or venture funding
  • An entrepreneurial approach that will provide you with the practical skills and know-how to bring your business plan to life, and make it sustainable in the long-run
  • Best of all, each assignment ladders up to combine into a robust business plan that you can take to market - either to present your idea to potential funders or to get large scale buy-in for your initiative
