I believe there are a number of good certificate programs available and based on the field and industry some can be very beneficial but I do not believe this is one of them. If you are seriously interested in starting a small business get your "education" at the library or online (blogs, podcasts etc.) FREE. If you still have concerns about accounting or marketing for your business consider a course at your local community college. There is nothing note worthy about the Champlain College program except for the cost.
