Huntington Learning Center Franchise provides an extensive and multi-phase training program designed to ensure that franchisees are well-prepared to operate and grow their business successfully. The training includes the following components:
Franchisee Initial Training (FIT): This program is conducted in three phases, each lasting one week. It combines online, instructor-led training with 37 hours of online modules. The FIT program focuses on helping franchisees understand the Huntington business model, including operations, marketing, and financial management. This foundational training is essential for setting up and running a Huntington Learning Center effectively.
Huntington Initial Training Program (HITP): This program is also divided into three components, each lasting about 40 hours over two weeks, and includes video modules. HITP is geared towards franchisees and their staff, focusing on implementing the "Huntington System" of learning. This system is central to delivering the tutoring and test prep services that Huntington is known for. Depending on their roles, staff members participate in one or more of these training sessions to ensure they are well-equipped to contribute to the center's success.
Ongoing Support and Advanced Training: Beyond initial training, Huntington provides ongoing support through regional meetings, a national convention, and local area meetings. This continuous education ensures that franchisees stay updated on best practices, new educational techniques, and business strategies. Additionally, franchisees receive marketing support, including the KickStart Marketing Program, which helps them launch their centers with a strong market presence from the beginning.
Territory Protection
Huntington Learning Center franchise offers territory protection to its franchisees. This protection grants franchisees an exclusive geographic area where no other Huntington Learning Center franchise can operate, ensuring that each franchisee has the opportunity to develop and grow their business without internal competition.
The territory is carefully defined based on factors such as population density, the number of schools, and the demand for tutoring services in the area.
