Stephan Scholtissek, a New Horizons franchise owner who oversees Germany, Austria and Switzerland, says IT training in his territory is a €5 billion market. The opportunity to capture market share is huge.

“We were not very well known in my territory when I started in 2011, but neither are our competitors,” Scholtissek says. “In our area, there are no really big companies dominating the market. We have 10 different Centers in Germany, and all of them have a different set of competitors.”

That gives Scholtissek and his team the opportunity to target the key decision-makers in his various markets to drive sales. His business stands out because of its ability to effectively market services, offer superior services, and rapidly adapt to remote learning.

With our global reach and expansive network, we offer more training courses over more time slots in more locations than any other IT training company. Our franchises have greater access to training tools and resources than smaller companies, which means superior training. Our ability to share those resources means franchisees can participate in revenue splits when they sell classes offered by another Center, allowing them to maximize revenue opportunities without incurring additional labor costs.

Khaled Aldryann, Vice President for Franchise Development in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, touts three main advantages for franchise investors: New Horizons’ global reputation, our vast network and our ability to provide strong support to franchisees both locally and internationally.

“The support we provide to our existing investors and our new investors is available 24/7,” Aldryaan says. “We have our own well-written, well-developed manuals, which are accessible to all the divisions inside any branch, from sales managers to the operations manager, based on proven systems used by all our franchises.

“That makes us very adaptive; we can adapt to whatever situation we are facing and provide the best possible service to our customers.”
