Program overview
The College Certificate - Business Fundamentals - Entrepreneurship (ENP2) is a 1 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
The entrepreneurship stream turns the business foundation year into a venture workshop: opportunity assessment, business modelling, basic finance and a pitch-ready plan built alongside the core skills. It suits students headed for family businesses or first ventures who need the fundamentals fast — with the diploma ladder held open.
Scale is the quiet advantage here: specialised facilities, a vast alumni network and a co-op office with real employer reach, in a city thousands of dollars cheaper per year than the big metros.
For work-permit purposes the credential sits under CIP 52.0101 (Business fundamentals). Sub-degree graduates need an eligible field, so confirm this exact program on the live PGWP-aligned page and with IRCC before committing.
