Where Children Have Fun Learning Music
HarpsCool has spent many months developing their franchisee training programme and operations manual.
Initial Training
The initial training takes place over five full days at HarpsCool Bristol and covers the following areas:
- HarpsCool overview and the market place
- Setting up and running your HarpsCool business
- The technical aspects of teaching Harmonica in the classroom
- Sales and Marketing
- Administration and reporting for your HarpsCool business
This training gives you sufficient knowledge to begin trading confidently as HarpsCool within your exclusive territory.
Ongoing bespoke training
Once you have had your initial training from HarpsCool it doesn't stop there. Ongoing bespoke training is available to you if you want more advanced training or just some refresher training to go over anything again.
All Harpscool franchisees and teachers get free access to all the current and upcoming 'Ben Hewlett harmonica course' tutor cd/book sets as downloads. There are 14 volumes so far and between 2 and 4 new volumes are written each year.
Lesson fees include access to the HarpsCool.co.uk website. This is the hub of the HarpsCool teaching material; it contains a vast collection of instructional and performance videos, written sheet music to download, information about our team and how we work, lesson dates, what we are currently teaching plus all our CD/books in downloadable format.
It also enables all our teachers to use this collection as the core teaching material and to know the students also have access to the material.
The fee of £3.00 per student per month for ten months a year is added to their monthly lesson fee as a bundle to grant access. Currently these volumes are worth over £150 if you were to buy them.
The franchisee must pass that £3.00/student/month to the franchisor on a monthly basis. This is purely collected and passed on – it does not affect profit, and does not show in any figures in this document.
Ongoing support
As mentioned above ongoing training is available at any time. HarpsCool also provides comprehensive telephone and e-mail support too. This ensures you are never left on your own and support is available whenever you need it.
