  1. Module 01

    Teaching Owners Who Have No Spare Hour

    The instructor tier opens with the owners in the room: employers and businesses with no employees, every trade, very different habits with AI and no compliance function behind them. Designing for one action taken on Monday, why the instructor may be the only caveat an owner hears, and why every teaching claim here is practice, never a research finding.

  2. Module 02

    Designing a Session Backwards From the Behaviour

    Start from what an owner must be able to do afterwards, such as checking a quote against the rate sheet or spotting an invented rule, and cut everything else. Objectives, activities and evidence in the room, a timing plan that survives a late start, and why the same person can be sharp on one task and poor on the next.

  3. Module 03

    Keeping Material Current When the Rules Move

    Rules that owners hear about get narrowed, delayed, vacated, set aside, withdrawn or repealed and re-enacted. The four corrections every instructor here must explain, a currency log naming each claim, its source, its last check and its checker, and how to correct something already taught, in writing, to the people who heard it.

  4. Module 04

    Facilitating a Room of Mixed Trades

    A landscaper, a dental practice manager and an online seller share a table, and the right answer differs for each. How to surface the condition that decides it (size, state, trade, data held, licensed work), spot the traps that catch a whole room, name the licensing board and stop, and handle the owner who argues, the one who is lost and the one who already bought.

  5. Module 05

    Demonstrating the Tool Failing

    Why a demonstration that only succeeds teaches the wrong lesson, and how to script four live failures on fictional business data that still finish on time: an invented rule, a stale price, an arithmetic slip and instruction-like text in a forwarded enquiry. What to do when the tool performs perfectly, and how to debrief for the checking habit rather than distrust.

  6. Module 06

    Hands-On Labs on a Fictional Business

    Building a fictional business the whole room can work on, with a price list, policies, a customer file, a supplier email and a mess to sort out. Keeping real customer, employee and payment data out of the room and saying why, running the lab across different tools or none, and a debrief on what changed, what happens Monday and what still needs a professional.

Independent professional education

MA-SBOC is an independent professional education program. It is not a business license, professional license, government certification, regulatory approval, or substitute for qualified legal, accounting, tax, financial, healthcare, engineering, safety, cybersecurity, licensing, or regulatory advice. AI-generated outputs require human verification, and business owners remain responsible for decisions made using them. Customer and employee information must be handled under applicable privacy and security requirements; marketing claims must be truthful and supportable; employment decisions require qualified human oversight; and financial and tax outputs require qualified professional review. The program is not endorsed by the U.S. Small Business Administration, Internal Revenue Service, any state business agency, chamber of commerce, professional association, accrediting organization, software vendor, regulator, or government agency. No professional education hours or approvals are claimed, and no revenue, ranking, funding, profitability, productivity, customer-growth, compliance, or return-on-investment result is guaranteed.
