Factoids About Trump University

Trump University does seminars and training sessions around the country, in person. If you go, expect lots of good information, plus a sales pitch to sign up for a higher level of participation.

Donald Trump hired education experts Roger Schank, Gary Eldred and Don Sexton to pull together the Trump University curriculum.

Donald Trump does not teach any of the courses. Experts chosen for their experience in each field teach them. That's better: Do you really want a guy who gets paid to say "You're fired" to teach you about management?

Should I Join?

Trump University costs money, and does sometimes attract controversy. Wikipedia has more about that. But as an online training resource, it has a lot to offer. The best way for you to decide is to visit the site. You can download a few of their free reports and have a look, then decide whether the tone, content and approach are right for you.

Note that Trump University is not an accredited university.
