We are the UK’s only training company dedicated to the franchise industry. Since 1995 we have been committed to raising standards in franchising. Our training has evolved and developed to ensure that we continue to guide people on best practice relevant to today’s fast moving environment.
In the beginning we set out to train franchisor staff in the core skills of franchising. Since then our range of training has expanded continuously and we now offer a wide range of training for franchisors and franchisees of different levels, but who all have in common the desire to become true franchise professionals.
We are proud to be the British Franchise Association’s chosen training provider for their QFP qualification and will continue to lead the industry in developing and delivering leading edge franchise training.
