Despite the increase in the amount of research conducted into the area of
entrepreneurship training and education, many entrepreneurship training initiatives
do not actually address the real needs of entrepreneurs. There is often a significant gap
between the perceptions of the training providers and those of the entrepreneurs in
terms of training needs, for what sometimes appear as key problem areas to the trainer
may have little importance for the entrepreneur.As the need for entrepreneurship
education and training programmes increase, more and more training models are being developed. These models provide the foundation on which these programmes are
based. Each of these models include constructs that the developer perceive as being
important but there is a lack in measuring the impact of such training models by
practically applying the constructs to the training interventions
