WEDA is excited to offer the Atlanta Microenterprise Initiative (AMI) curriculum as a distance learning course.
Distance learning courses provide motivated entrepreneurs the opportunity to receive the AMI curriculum completely online using an Internet-based course management system. This system uses live chat sessions, e-mail, electronic homework assignments, quizzes, and a virtual classroom for communicating with other students and the instructor.
AMI Distance Learning covers the same topics and gives you the same benefits as the AMI program with the added bonus of taking the course from your home.

“My experience with the AMI program far exceeded anything I expected. We were provided with resources, including references and contacts that I will continue to use as I grow my business. The best part of the program, however, was that it was presented in a way that was clear and concise and could be easily applied to our businesses.”
