This programme has been designed to help you better understand franchising, your suitability for franchising and important information and guidance to consider when evaluating the purchase of a franchise opportunity. The programme itself was developed by the Franchise Association of New Zealand in collaboration with Massey University and Franchize Consultants (NZ) Limited, and best of all, it's free.

The Franchisee Pre-entry Education Programme is divided into five modules; each containing a number of sub-topics:

• Module 1: Franchising Basics
• Module 2: The Money Side
• Module 3: The System & Start-up
• Module 4: Operating & Support
• Module 5: Due Diligence

Each module contains a mixture of text you can read (including downloadable content) together with short videos and should take you around 45 minutes to complete. At the end of each module you will be presented with a series of self-assessment questions. The questions are designed to ensure you understand the key points covered. When you have finished this, you will be able to move on to the next module in the series. 

Once you have completed all five modules you will be awarded a Certificate of Participation by Massey University, a valuable document that you will be able to take to Jet Cleaning Services to show that you are serious in your intentions to join the New Zealand franchising sector.
