Another perk is that franchisees might not have to operate a call center or answer calls. Incoming calls usually go to the franchise call center. The call center then handles any questions for potential students. The call center typically schedules tutoring sessions for a franchise location through a web-based calendar.

Be prepared to either travel for corporate training or go through online training with an instructor. Online training is usually reserved for franchisees who want to expedite operations or need more time to complete training. Even if you complete the training online, you are usually welcome to train at the corporate office in the future.

Soon, you may be running your very own Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services location.
