Abstract: This paper is a study of the entrepreneurial learning of the manager which impacted venture growth by raising the competence of the manager. A sample of 247 respondents was drawn from small and medium enterprise managers in West Java from 13 districts, using the survey method. The structural equation model was used to analyse the data and to test the hypothesis. The results of this research showed that entrepreneurial learning had both a direct effect on entrepreneurial competencies and an indirect effect on venture growth. The other result was that venture growth became a learning medium for entrepreneurs to achieve competence. Future research should investigate entrepreneurial learning dynamics, especially in other fields. Reciprocal relationship between entrepreneurial learning and venture growth should be studied to find a new model.
