If you’re excited about the prospect of licensing a school with us, have passion, drive and commitment then we’d love to speak with you.

STEP 01

Contact & Consultation

Starting your licensing journey with us is straightforward. Contact our licensing team and we’ll arrange a preliminary call, during which we’ll introduce you to the concept and business model, and discuss the territory you’re interested in licensing in and the potential facilities.

We’ll support and guide you at a pace that works for you. We’re keen to find out more about you and your ambitions to work with us.

Our approach is an adaptable and collaborative one. If you’re at the early stages of doing your research and factfinding, we can answer questions you may have to get a greater understanding of the opportunity. Alternatively, you might have investigated your territory of interest and started to map out your own proposal and be ready to progress your conversation about licensing with us.

Whatever stage you’re at, we’re here to help you and answer your questions.
