Abstract: The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of an adult entrepreneurship training programme in a developing country such as Namibia. A cross-sectional research approach was followed with surveys distributed to a convenience sample of entrepreneurs (N= 102) who participated in the training programme. The results overall showed that the respondents benefitted to a large extent from the training programme. The training programme contributes amongst others to improved business performance and increased clients base for the respondents. The training methods used as part of the training programme are adequate and improved the respondents work attitude and overall entrepreneurial skills.
