FREE PRE-ENTRY FRANCHISE EDUCATION GOES LIVE
Free pre-entry franchise education is now available for prospective franchisees through the Asia-Pacific Centre for Franchising Excellence at Griffith University, from July 1.
The program, announced last month and funded by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), commences with nearly 300 participants already registered.
Offered online, the program may be accessed from across Australia.
Asia-Pacific Centre for Franchising Excellence Director Professor Lorelle Frazer said the program was strongly recommended for everyone who planned on entering the franchise sector.
“The program is free thanks to the funding from the ACCC, and offered entirely online to make it accessible to anyone looking at entering franchising,” Professor Frazer.
“With such low barriers to the program, there now is no excuse not to educate yourself about what is really involved in franchising, your obligations as a franchisee and the elements you need to look out for.
“The program is also in line with our research findings which suggest improved pre-entry education will reduce conflict in the franchise sector.”
The pre-entry franchise education program covers: franchise disclosure, franchise agreements, franchise royalties and finance, support services, site and territory selection, dispute resolution, due diligence and much more.
The program includes five modules, and each module will take about 45 minutes to complete, consisting of video, audio and text documents, as well as additional resources and an assessment quiz.
The program is delivered via email, one module a day, direct to a participant’s inbox. Upon successful completion of each module participants will receive a Certificate of Completion.
