Description

Have you wanted to own an educational institution, but after doing your homework, have found that there are huge barriers to this market? Current legislation requires that educational institutions wanting to offer recognised educational programmes, must be registered with the Department of Higher Education & Training and must be accredited by the various Education Training and Quality Assurance (ETQA) bodies, before they can commence business. This registration / accreditation process can take anywhere between 18 and 24 months. What this simply means is that you as the owner of the business must incur all operating and overhead costs on your own, be functional and operational in the true sense of the word, without being able to register a single learner and earn sales.
It is for this reason and this reason alone, the private education market will only get bigger and bigger, as time passes by, especially for the education providers who are legal and already within the system. Well, we now an answer and solution to this market barrier. With our professional expertise, we would be able to make a quick entry into a very lucrative, dynamic and sustainable market. The skills shortage currently experienced will probably last another 100 years, which makes education a “boom” business.
With over 30 years of combined specialised and senior management experience, our professional team of experts would fully install and establish an accredited, registered and licensed Further Education and Training (FET) College / Skills Campus in a location / area of your choice. This is not a franchise opportunity, since the new College to be established, would be created in your own name and for your own account.
We have expert knowledge on all the major education players in the country and will be able to position your product and offering placing your organisation either on similar or equal footing to that of your competitors, so that you may be better positioned to achieve financial viability and profitability within the first year or two of trading. The intellectual value provided by our team will place you right into the forefront of educational provisioning, and will make you a worthy competitor, almost immediately. Under normal circumstances, achieving this learning curve, may take up to 2 – 3 years, coupled with the associated business risk, especially for new ventures.
