Tycoon Extended Project

Qualification EPQ

The Tycoon Extended Project Qualification Programme combines the Tycoon Enterprise Competition and the EPQ artefact pathway, enabling students to participate in a national competition and develop an artefact along the way.

Students aged 16-18 will write a business plan, apply for a goodwill loan to purchase the raw materials to make their artefact, turning it into multiple products or a service to sell. Please note there will be a cost attached to run the Tycoon Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).

This programme is ideal for students who are passionate about a cause or problem, or have an interest which they would like to explore on a
deeper level.
