MartConnection: E-commerce and Vendor Business Growth

Build a vendor business people can trust

Learn to turn your business idea into clear listings, sustainable prices, reliable fulfilment and a practical growth plan. This live course is designed for product sellers, service providers, artisans, rental businesses and ride or parcel operators.

Is this course for you?

Beginners are welcome. Bring an existing business idea or use a clearly labelled fictional business. You do not need a live store or a completed sale to start.

What you will learn to do

• Choose the right business placement and prepare your vendor information and service zone.
• Create trustworthy catalogue drafts using honest photographs, searchable descriptions, clear units and realistic availability.
• Price sustainably by separating costs, markup and margin, then explaining your store policies.
• Compare supply options responsibly and practise the corrected sourcing direction: Threeni → MartConnection.
• Prepare for payments and fulfilment while protecting identity, banking and customer information.
• Promote a fulfilable offer, record useful business numbers and build a 90-day action plan.

How the live workshops work

Each workshop combines short explanations, safe worked examples, guided practice, independent project work, peer feedback and questions. You can participate by voice or in writing; a camera is not a completion requirement.

Use a phone or computer for Zoom and the learning platform. Keep a notebook or editable worksheet ready and download the student materials before class where possible. Sign in to your student account, enrol in the free course and use its live-session joining controls. The Zoom host’s licensed live-room limit is separate from unlimited LMS enrolment.

Build a practical project

Develop ten evidence items, E1–E10, suited to your chosen business track. Your project includes business placement, listing drafts, pricing and policy work, simulated sourcing checks, safe readiness records, fulfilment planning, promotion, business metrics, a 90-day plan and a final presentation.

Use peer feedback to improve your work and save your evidence through the organiser’s announced submission route. The project rubric guides feedback; it is not an additional certificate pass score.

What you can download

• Student course guide and workbook — your workshop reference and project prompts.
• Student quick-reference sheets — concise reminders for practice.
• Student practice worksheets — editable templates for your evidence.
• Student teaching deck — available in PDF and PowerPoint formats.

The student quiz is released for the final assessment, not as an early download. Facilitator scripts, private attendance registers and the answer key stay private.

Certificate requirements

Training and enrolment are free. Certificate issuance costs ₦7,500. The issuance fee is separate from academic eligibility; it does not replace attendance, the completed project or the quiz.

You must meet all three academic conditions:

• Live attendance: at least 80%. Partial attendance is recorded proportionally from live duration where applicable under the organiser’s announced process.
• Practical project: submit the completed, track-appropriate project.
• Final quiz: score at least 60% — 12 correct answers out of 20.

Online lesson-completion buttons do not replace live attendance. KYC approval, purchases, actual sales and a live store are not certificate requirements.

Practise safely

• Use drafts, simulations, fictional data or anonymised examples for consequential workflows.
• Do not make real business payments, submit identity documents, generate or share API keys, connect production stores, execute live imports, publish campaigns or contact real buyers to complete a classroom activity. Any certificate issuance payment is separate and must use the organiser’s verified LMS process.
• Keep identity, banking and customer records private.

After the two-week course

Take your 90-day plan into practice. The 30-, 60- and 90-day action-plan and mentorship checkpoints are separate from the live course and its certificate.

Source note: public interface captures and sourcing examples were reviewed on 11 November 2026. They are teaching examples, not current authenticated evidence or proof of a production operation. Check current platform and provider terms before real-world action. MartConnection has 11 departments; the public module-tile capture showed 10 tiles. Neither count is the eight-module course outline. This course is separate from the Timeterest networking and content-monetisation course.
