Canadian Business Edutainment Association

Where Canadian business meets education and community.

CBEA is a Canadian association built for the next decade of work, issuing credentials, convening operators, and turning frontier ideas into things people actually use. We believe serious learning can be lively, and that the best business education in Canada should feel both rigorous and human.

From the cohort

"The capstone alone was worth ten times the tuition. We deployed three AI systems in six weeks and won our first $40K retainer the following month."

Four pillars, one association

An association is more than a membership card.

CBEA is organized around four working pillars. Each one is a real program, with real outputs, judged by real practitioners, not a slide in a deck.

I.

Education

Cohort-based programs, the CAA™ credential, masterclasses, and a working library of Canadian case studies built with our faculty of practitioners.

II.

Growth

Workshops, advisory clinics, and a referral network that turns new skills into real revenue. Members learn how to scope, price and ship.

III.

Edutainment

Live recorded sessions, conversational lectures, and field interviews. Serious ideas delivered with energy, because attention is the curriculum's first ingredient.

IV.

Community

A bilingual, cross-province network of operators, builders and advisors who meet in Toronto, on Zoom, and in members-only forums.

The Co-Founders of CBEA
The Co-Founders

Built by two, for many.

CBEA was founded by Amir Vincent and Armin Baghernejad, two practitioners who believe Canadian business deserves an institution of its own, one that teaches the work, certifies the skill, and convenes the people doing it.

Their conviction is simple. The next decade of Canadian enterprise will be defined by the operators who can put artificial intelligence to work responsibly, profitably, and at speed. CBEA exists to train those operators.
