The Skill-to-Business Converter
NYEA is an 8-week intensive programme with 2 sessions per week. It is not a classroom—it is a launchpad. We don't teach you "how" to tailor or "how" to bake—we assume you already have that skill. Instead, we give you the business structure, brand identity, and tools to turn that skill into a professional enterprise.
