I enrolled for Beyond formulation course in July 2020. Taking Beyond formulation course is one the best decisions I’ve made for my business. Before taking this course I have made terrible mistakes concerning getting my products certified, but this opened my eyes to see my errors and I was able to correct them.

I have gained tremendous knowledge and insights as regarding labeling, branding and market my products.

The highlight for me is our one on one sessions with our tutor, she’s an amazing person that’s always ready to listen to our problems and proffer solutions to them. I have built acquaintances with other awesome business owners too.

Having gained proper knowledge from this course, I now have a standard production factory and I have started my NAFDAC registration process.

I will recommend this course to anyone that’s aspiring to take their products to the next level.

Thank you AN Training School.

I signed up for beyond formulation because I was planning to relaunch my business and I wanted to avoid some previous mistakes that I had made before.

Beyond formulation has helped me to expand my options and understand the benefits and risks attached to sourcing packaging materials as well as raw materials within or outside Nigeria.

I learnt that a lot about your motives for business would play a major part in some of the decisions that you would take.

My favorite part of beyond formulation was the weekly calls where we discussed the modules and asked questions too.

I plan to use the knowledge gained to work on my business relaunch, revisit the business strategy and build a business that will last.

Because of beyond formulation, I have started working on sourcing my packaging straight from the factories which was something that I had not previously considered and I’m also making plans for my NAFDAC certification with better information. Another thing that I hadn’t considered was including a price buffer in my costing to allow for changes in prices.

I recommend Beyond Formulation particularly for people who are planning on starting a new cosmetic business or are planning on relaunching. It is worth the investment.

I signed up for beyond formulation because I realised there were some basic business information I did not understand based on the sector and sort of target market I was focusing on (mass market vs luxury).

Beyond formulation has helped me to/opened my eyes to actually see what path of marketing and development works for me and my brand and how to finetune my strategy to get the maximum impact for my business.

I learnt what avenues to export my products, how to get my NAFDAC certification done the right way and if my product was meant to be in supermarkets, or online. My favorite part of beyond formulation was definitely the online meetings we had to discuss our various challenges, and also learn from one another.

Because of beyond formulation, I have started to build my online store and build my support community who believe and trust in my brand, and I’m already getting results in this aspect with new customers coming in and me sharing the value of my brand with them.

If you are considering signing up for Beyond Formulation, don't consider, do it!!

Thanks to Atilola, every single area of my factory and manufacturing business is now up to NAFDAC’s standard. This includes my water treatment, my package area and section, the sealing of my products, the storage are, my distribution plan, raw materials standard, amongst other things

The NAFDAC consultant I’m now working with has inspected my factory, and all the rooms are ready to go.
I have started my NAFDAC certification process, and working with my 7 bestselling products, and my NAFDAC consultant offers me the best support.

The Pricing Template has completely changed the face of my business. It made me reevaluate my pricing again. I thought I was making money because I was seeing money come in and go out. I didn’t know that I was spending money unnecessarily on expensive raw materials. The Pricing Template helped plug the leakages because I could now see all the unneeded expenses. It pointed all the loopholes in my business out, and I was able to restructure everything. I now buy things in bulk, and this saves me a lot of money.

I was formerly considering importing packaging material but when I saw the price, I knew it was a bad decision when I worked it through my Pricing Template, especially with the unfavourable exchange rate. I now know how to budget for my packaging materials better.

My branding and promotion strategy have greatly improved. This made my business grow so much in a very short while, that I had to delegate some areas to other people. I now have more time to think about my brand improvement, and it is win-win for my business.

The sweetest icing on the cake for me is that I didn’t just learn from Beyond formulation, but I am most grateful for the community we built. We all brainstorm and help one another, push another, and are accountable to one another. It is still a learning process for all us, no matter how big our businesses get.

I signed up for beyond formulation because of I wanted to learn to from someone who had first hand experience in getting a NAFDAC number.

Beyond formulation has helped me to understand how to properly navigate getting a NAFDAC number.

I learnt what the requirements for getting a NAFDAC Number are, sales options available for pushing your products and how to navigate sourcing raw materials. My favorite part of beyond formulation is the weekly live sessions. It was really informative as Atilola shared from her experience as we were able to ask questions and discuss different topics.

I plan to use the knowledge gained to restructure my business.

Because of beyond formulation, I have started to look into getting a Nafdac number and I’m already getting results in setting up my factory.

Beyond Formulation is a course I would encourage you to sign up for because it’s helps you cut your journey down and you avoid the pitfalls along the way
