Master of Business Acceleration™ Certification Program
Advanced CEO, Founder & Business Scaling Certification
This gives you access to every course we have at all stages of business development. The Master of Business Acceleration™ is our most advanced professional certification program for CEOs, founders, co-founders, and senior entrepreneurial leaders who want to build, scale, finance, systematize, and eventually exit a significant company.
This program combines the full CEO & Entrepreneur Boot Camp™ curriculum with the AirTight™ Growth & Scaling System, including our six core management systems for building a company that can grow beyond founder-dependent execution and move toward $10M, $100M, or even $1B in sales over time.
This is not a casual online course. It is an advanced, guided certification program for serious business builders that includes coaching time to help understand and adapt it to your business needs.
Better Than an MBA for Serious Entrepreneurs
Traditional MBA programs can be valuable, but they are usually broad, academic, expensive, and not designed around the real problems founders face when launching, growing, financing, hiring, managing, and scaling a company.
The Master of Business Acceleration™ is different.
It is designed around the full entrepreneurial lifecycle—from idea, vision, market research, business model design, launch, product development, branding, finance, leadership, management systems, scaling, capital strategy, and exit preparation.
It is faster, more practical, more integrated, and far more focused on the actual work of building a company.
Instead of studying business as a detached academic subject, you learn how to design, launch, manage, finance, and scale a real company using practical systems, checklists, frameworks, and decision tools you can apply immediately.

Together, these courses form a complete roadmap for building a high-performance entrepreneurial company from foundation to scale.
The AirTight™ Six Systems for Scaling
The program also includes the AirTight™ Growth & Scaling curriculum built around the six major systems needed to scale a company.
Systems 1 through 4 are highly teachable through structured training, templates, management practices, and implementation frameworks. Systems 5 and 6 often require more customization, coaching, and consulting because they depend heavily on the company’s stage, people, culture, industry, and operational complexity.
That is why this program includes both training and guidance—not just videos.
Coaching and Guided Implementation
The Master of Business Acceleration™ includes one-on-one guidance and coaching from Bob Norton, founder of AirTight Management, along with regular group discussion and coaching sessions at least every other week.
This matters because the real value is not just learning the material. It is applying it to your business, your strategy, your team, your market, your risks, and your growth stage.
Because of the coaching component, enrollment is limited and an application is required.
Who This Program Is For
- CEOs and founders building serious companies
- Co-founders preparing for scale, funding, or rapid growth
- Entrepreneurs who want a complete business-building framework
- Senior executives stepping into CEO, COO, or founder-like roles
- Growth-company leaders who want to professionalize management systems
- Business owners preparing to scale beyond the founder-driven stage
- Leaders who want certification-level mastery, not just scattered courses
At least three years of management experience is recommended unless you have already completed The CEO & Entrepreneur Boot Camp™ Certification Program or the Management Certification Program.
Graduates of those programs may receive both course credit and financial credit toward this certification.
Created by a Founder Who Has Done It
The program was created by Bob Norton, serial entrepreneur, founder, CEO adviser, and creator of AirTight Management, The CEO Boot Camp, and Entrepreneurship University.
Bob has built and scaled companies, raised capital from multiple sources, advised hundreds of entrepreneurs and CEOs, and returned over $1 billion in profits to investors during his career.
This program reflects decades of hard-earned operating experience, management science, entrepreneurial pattern recognition, and practical systems developed from the trenches—not theory alone.
Why This Matters
Most companies do not fail because the founder lacked effort. They fail because the founder and team were missing critical skills, systems, management discipline, market understanding, financial strategy, or scalable structure.
The Master of Business Acceleration™ is designed to close those gaps.
You will learn how to think more strategically, manage more systematically, reduce avoidable risks, recruit better people, design stronger business models, make smarter capital decisions, and build a company with far more long-term value.
Limited Enrollment
Because this program includes coaching and guided support, the number of participants is limited.
An application is required to ensure the program is a fit for your background, goals, company stage, and level of commitment.
