What it certifies

That you can teach entrepreneurship through projects, and prove it.

The credential is subject-specific, not generic. It certifies that a teacher can run a ten-week Entrepreneur Hub project with a real class: frame the opportunity, run checkpoints, judge the four parts, and bring students to a showcase with evidence. The assessment is the project run itself, submitted with student outcomes and a reflective commentary, and judged by a person.

Questions

Before you enrol.

When can I start?

The first intake opens in January 2027. The modules are self-paced from the day you enrol; you then run your project with a class in the term of your choice and submit within 12 months.

Do I need to have taught the curriculum before?

No. The modules teach the method; the project run is where you apply it. Most teachers enrol in the same term they start teaching their first project.

Which project do I run?

Any Entrepreneur Hub project, with any real class. Teachers usually choose the project they are teaching that term anyway.

What if my submission doesn’t pass?

You receive written feedback on what was missing and can resubmit once within your 12 months at no extra cost.

Is there a Design Futures certificate?

Not a teaching certificate yet: a Certificate in Teaching Secondary Creative Design will follow when Design Futures is live in schools. In the meantime CURIOO issues a certificate of completion for any Campus project, Entrepreneur Hub or Design Futures, run with a class, on request.

How does a school verify my certificate?

Every certificate carries a unique verification code. A school or partner can confirm it by writing to hello@curioo.com with the code; we reply within two working days.
