Frequently asked questions

General

  • Alternative MBAs are a category of business education created by private sector companies who believe they can provide a better service than traditional university courses.

    Roadmap MBA is an alternative MBA business course which provides the real world skills to help you grow a business or progress your career. This is a private sector business course and not associated or accredited by any university or third party or imply any level of learning equivalent to an OfQal qualification.

  • Nearly half the world lives on less than $6 a day. We believe in supporting millions of people who otherwise do not have access to traditional forms of business education.

  • We love education in all forms. We love universities. We love business schools. We love people being able to access information to build a better life for themselves. We hate people being excluded or unable to access this support.

  • If you want an accredited degree course that is not what the Roadmap alternative MBA offers. If you need the accredited degree there are lots of excellent options out there. The skills you will learn from the Roadmap MBA will still help you whichever course you do and also throughout your career once you graduate.

Past Experience or Education

  • Academic courses provide a great deal of knowledge, but we believe it is real-world skills which support your overall success.

  • Yes. When starting your career we recommend to get as much experience as you can. We recommend skimming through the course to discover the different modules and learn the basics, then come back to each to learn more when you need it during your career.

    Learning these skills will give you an advantage in your career.

  • We purposely use the brand positioning of “MBA” to denote a business course which is of high quality and to help users understand that we are an alternative to a traditional MBA, however we do recognise that some people dislike the use of the term “MBA” when we do not offer an accredited Masters degree in Business Administration.

    We are clear that the Roadmap is an alternative MBA business course which provides the real world skills to help you grow a business or your career. This is a private sector business course and not associated or accredited by any university or third party or imply any level of learning equivalent to an OfQal qualification.

    If you’re interested in learning more about brand positioning, it’s in Module 7.

    Our vision for the platform is to build “the Peloton of business education”, giving users the ability to log-on anytime, choose their instructor, choose their topic, choice their language (including sign language) and learn at a time which suits them.

    We want to embrace diversity of thought and opinion with presenters from different backgrounds who each bring their unique viewpoint, thoughts, opinions and ideas on how to make the world better. We’re unlocking opportunity around the world.
