IYB targets existing and practicing entrepreneurs to good principles of business management. The six IYB modules (Buying and Stock Control, Marketing, Record Keeping, Costing, Planning for your business, and People and Productivity) can be taught individually or all combined in a full course.
The SYB and IYB packages also include the SIYB Business Game, a practical simulation tool that complements the SIYB training of potential and existing entrepreneurs. It assists participants understand the realities of starting and running a business. It is played within a room setting. It contains 4 Modules which are Modular.
The International Labour Organization trains ILO/SIYB Master Trainers who upon successful certification are licensed to carry out ILO/SIYB TOTs to train and certify successful trainers. The potential trainers must be active in the business development with a commitment to transferring the skills to potential and existing entrepreneurs using SIYB methodologies and tools.
The ILO/SIYB TOTs are intensive and conducted for 10 days by the ILO/SIYB Master Trainers. After the TOT, potential SIYB Trainers are expected to market and carry out a TOPE and TOE successfully before they are certified. The Master trainer assesses their competence as they carry out the training and related activities and certify them as SIYB Trainers.
