Anyone 16 and above can register. In practice, the platform was built for members of the LoveWorld Nation — entrepreneurs, SBO leaders, trade officers, and commerce professionals at any stage. There are courses for people starting their first business and courses for people running established organisations. The catalog is wide enough that most learners will find something immediately relevant.
The platform launches with 25 courses across seven disciplines: International Trade and Commerce, Business Strategy and Entrepreneurship, Financial Management and Investment, Digital Commerce and E-Commerce, Supply Chain Management and Logistics, Trade Policy and Economic Development, and Professional Commerce Skills. Each discipline runs from beginner to advanced, with a certification programme at the top. The flagship certifications are the Certified International Trade Professional, the Executive Business Strategy Certification, and the Certified Financial Analyst for Commerce. The catalog is planned to reach 100-plus courses by Month 24.
Individual courses range from $29 to $299. Certification programmes are priced separately — the Executive Business Strategy Certification is $499, and the Certified Financial Analyst for Commerce is $799. Subscriptions are available monthly, quarterly, and annually if you want ongoing access rather than course-by-course purchases. Payments are accepted in Espees, USD, NGN, GBP, and EUR through Stripe and Paystack.

Certification records are kept on the platform permanently, so verification requests can be fulfilled at any point.
