On July 14-15 we were in the Beirut for the first ever GrowthWheel Certification Course in Lebanon.

2000 advisors certified since 2008

The course in Copenhagen on June 21-22 was a milestone for GrowthWheel as we passed advisor no. 2000 to be certified since the first business advisor had a GrowthWheel Certificate in 2008.
By an appropriate coincidence advisor no. 2,000 was a business advisor from Væksthus Syddanmark (GrowthHouse Southern Denmark) where also the first ever group of advisors was certified back in 2008.
