If you are interested in opening your own training centre, or are keen to add a digital skills program to training you already provide, you are very welcome to contact us to discuss the business opportunity you foresee. When you fill out the contact form type ‘Open a Centre’ to indicate your interest and we will reply to your email. Of course, if you are planning to deliver the program, it will be essential that you do it yourself first so you can fully understand how it works. This could be a good place to start.If you become part of our New Centre programme, we will explain how the program works and provide guidance in selecting a possible location for your centre. Data from Facebook marketing can be used to estimate the number of potential students within a taxi ride from a proposed centre. You would then need to search for a venue and build a business plan.Eventually, once all the pieces were in place, an opening date would be chosen and Facebook Marketing begun two weeks before opening date. This would ensure that students had signed up by the time the doors opened. Centre owners are encouraged to manage their market carefully and to use special offers/promotions to ensure maximum capacity in their centres.Support and guidance are provided by SkillWise and existing Centre owners via a regular Community of Practice online meeting.
