Our take

Based on the ratings of 882 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a two-hour free preview of a larger paid workshop, not the full program. The syllabus shows 24 lectures across six sections: entrepreneurship basics, marketing, ecommerce, investing, and two short sections that point to the full modMBA. Marketing takes most of the time, about 70 of the 120 minutes. It is aimed at first-time founders and curious beginners, and the description is upfront that there is no accreditation, no degree and no certificate.

Reviewers mostly call it clear, brief and easy to follow. Coursenvy, the agency behind it, gets credit for plain wording and a step by step view of starting a business, and several beginners say it gave them a solid foundation. Complaints are small: a few want diagrams or more formulas, and one wanted something on the entrepreneur mindset. The sharpest review, at two stars, calls it a big ad for the paid courses. Of 882 ratings, 463 are five stars and 300 are four. It was last updated in January 2026.

Because it is free, the only real cost is two hours of time. Treat it as a light overview of startup concepts and a way to judge whether the full workshop is worth buying. Anyone who already runs a business, or wants depth on one topic, will find it thin. Nothing here replaces a real MBA, and the course says as much itself.

Best forFirst-time founders who want a free, quick overview before deciding on the full modMBA.
Skip it ifYou already run a business or want depth on one topic, since this is a short sampler with some promo.

Pros

  • Plain wording and short lectures that beginners find easy to follow
  • Free, with 24 lectures spanning entrepreneurship, marketing, ecommerce and investing
  • Touches business ideas, naming, pivoting, pitch decks and business models
  • Rated 4.3 across 882 ratings, with most sampled reviews at four or five stars

Cons

  • It is a sampler for a paid workshop, so some lectures are promotion
  • Only two hours, with about 70 minutes on marketing and little on investing
  • Some reviewers miss diagrams, formulas and entrepreneur mindset content
Great for absolute beginners. To the point and brief explanation of the topic.

Labeled All Levels, but it really suits beginners with no business background. No prerequisites are listed.

Course Description

Looking for an online MBA alternative? The modMBA gives you an unaccredited MBA-level of experience, all online! The modMBA is a modern approach to the traditional MBA. You will learn how to grow and scale your business with proven, real world tools and strategies.

***This Udemy course acts as a FREE PREVIEW of the full modMBA workshop. ***

This online workshop is for individuals who want to not only excel in business, but in life!

While you won't earn a Master of Business Administration degree, you will learn nearly everything taught in an MBA program and much more!

The modMBA isn’t your typical online course... think of this workshop more as a vehicle for changing your personal and professional life for the better!

We cut through the "fluff and fillers" of typical courses, teaching you the real life lessons you need to be successful in business.

Our goal is provide you with INSANE value or your money back guaranteed, no questions asked!

---

We need to note that the modMBA is an informal, unaccredited workshop. We are not a licensed educational institution, nor are we an accredited post-secondary school offering you a degree. Sorry, you don't get to wear a fun cap and gown! If you need an official course credit and the letters M.B.A. behind your name... this workshop isn’t for you!

With that said...

Do you NEED an MBA degree?

Our answer here at Coursenvy is... MAYBE?!

1) If you are a working professional that is offered tuition reimbursement by your employer and have a guaranteed salary increase with letters behind your name... YES, go get your masters degree from an accredited educational institution for $20k-$150k!

2) If you don't have the monetary incentive on the table for an accredited MBA, but still want to put yourself in a position to be making more money and to surpass your competition and/or co-workers... then the modMBA is for you!

It’s quite useful and simply great

By Ehab Elhariry on 3/22/2020

This is not a course rather than a sample form another detailed many courses. It is like a big Ad for the other courses. May be the other courses are useful but this one is not useful as much, unless you are totally unfamiliar with these topics and want to explore your choices to learn something new.

By Riccardo Chiusano on 8/17/2019

NOT BAD, perfect if you are keen on startup and business world it's fine. I expected that the course also covered topics like "the mindset of a perfect entrepreneur", but it's fine... not perfect

By Zakaria ABOUKIR on 7/23/2018

I highly liked the course cause of its highly convenience and also it is short but the information provided are actually great for any entrepreneur who wants to start in this world of business ... Thank you very much

By Brian De Vivar on 6/12/2018

I checked out this course to get an insight on how to be an entrepreneur and build a business plan. Even though it is very short but i learned a lot like pivoting, pitching and business models. There are some computations in the video which i think is great. Overall, the course is great for newbies like me! Thank you

By Shehu Abdulmalik Abba on 5/7/2018

It was quite a great course that I was so attached I didnt know we had finished the course. Very interactive and engaging. Took a lot out of the course and hope to use them in my new startup business. Great tutor, thumbs up

By Aaron A Council on 1/31/2018

I am launching a new platform this year and this was my first business class. I found that it gave me a great frame work to understanding the world I am entering. While I still have much work to do this has allowed me to focus my energies in a productive manner. Thank you!

By Pamela Dees on 12/25/2017

Thank you for this course. I am completely new to Entrepreneurship, yet not totally clueless. This course gave me many things to consider from the true 'business' aspect vs the 'i have a great idea' aspect. What I appreciated most was that i could keep up. Some was a a bit over my head, but that showed me where i need to research and 'stretch' myself, but most was very understandable for me as a newbie.

By Grace Mills on 9/26/2017

Great course for beginners or for people in general are just starting a business or considering to start one. Course did a great job of helping you pin down your basics. Would love to see a few things added as far as course material. - First I would prefer a separate section on Funding instead of it being under Business Plans. I think theres a lot more info that could be shared. Would love to see Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents explained more. Would love to see a section on Slogans, and the different types of Logo designs. Also would be great under Business Plan to discuss Business Financing/Accounting

By Renee Leiva on 8/26/2017

Honestly, this was an amazing course! I learned so much and finished it from beginning to end feeling empowered and ready to take action on my entrepreneurial endeavor. The instructor Justin O'Brien is remarkable and I don't say that lightly. Looking to take more courses of his in the near future. Love the additional course resources too! Thank you! :)
