The intensive three-week training programme, was in Arabic and included an awareness component, 14 days of training in basic business skills and 1 day computer skills training.
The programme was conducted by Omani instructor, Ali al Sharji, an entrepreneur who has conducted training for "Injaz Arabia" (Junior Achievement), a Shell-sponsored entrepreneurship programme and an EAP course that was conducted by AMIDEASTAMIDEAST

Riham al Mudaini, another participant added, "The most important thing I learned in this programme is how to be a hard worker and achieve my goal and start my own business".
