Training

iCode Franchise offers comprehensive training to ensure that franchisees are well-equipped to deliver high-quality technology education. The training typically includes:

  1. Initial Training: Franchisees undergo an extensive initial training program at the iCode headquarters or an approved training facility. This includes hands-on experience with the curriculum, teaching methods, and classroom management techniques.
  2. Curriculum and Instruction: Franchisees receive detailed training on iCode’s proprietary curriculum, which covers coding, robotics, and digital skills. The training ensures that franchisees can effectively teach and guide students through the various technology-focused projects and courses.
  3. Operational Training: Franchisees are trained in day-to-day operations, including software and hardware setup, student enrollment, and marketing strategies. This helps them manage their centers efficiently and maintain the high standards expected of iCode.
  4. Ongoing Support: iCode provides continuous support through regular updates on curriculum, new educational technologies, and best practices. Franchisees also have access to a network of fellow franchisees for sharing experiences and advice.

Territory Protection

iCode Franchise offers territory protection to its franchisees. Each franchisee is granted an exclusive territory, which is designed to minimize competition among iCode centers and allow franchisees to capture a substantial market share in their designated area. 

This territorial protection helps ensure that franchisees can operate without the threat of overlapping franchises in close proximity, supporting their growth and profitability.
