Is this a U.K. based �charity� as requested donations appear to be in $ ?
Also one of the funders is listed as : The Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner�s Community Safety Fund which doesn�t seem to be listed on their records of funding.

How strange that only men have commented. The " Lewes District" suggests Lewes District Council, which I initially presumed . Of course its nothing to do with them. The Sussex Community Foundation is in Western Road , that's all. It looks like a nice little earner.

Thank you for your comments. I thought that I would clarify the reason why the course is for women only. It is because funding pots are focused on specific groups that we have to comply with. If you are interested we will soon be launching a very simliar course for both men and women. If you would like some more information please not hestiate to contact me at helen@enterprisejunction.org.uk

Cedric- it also uses "advisor" and US date format. It is obviously trying to hide the fact that it is really US.
The Old Mayor - a bit ageist too.
It might be free to start with; but what happens if you want to complete the course, or are "advised" to consolidate skills by paying for a further course? I am advising younger friends to have nothing to do with it.

I highly disagree IDM. All looks fine to me. I'm sure many people will get a lot out of it. I would expect Tom to come out with this conspiracy stuff but not you.
