“Te Māpura helped make my business goals a reality! I’m so grateful for this course and all of the delivery team. I now know it’s possible to start a business and wouldn’t have done it without Te Māpura. The short course length is great. If it was longer than 9 weeks, I might not have pushed myself to launch my business”
says Kiri Arna Wray, founder of Taonga Collections
