Could you run your own Children's Computer Workshops?

The need for children to develop computing skills is now widely recognised.

Fluency and familiarity with computers and technology is essential to nurture the future digital generation, and ensure that today’s children become creators of technology and not just passive consumers of it.

Demand is exploding as educators and parents recognise the value of these skills…and of course, the children are having so much fun, they don’t notice how much they are learning!

As a franchisee, you’ll have access to comprehensive range of teaching materials, from lesson plans, to parental update templates, to a suite of marketing materials. 

Franchisees benefit from low operational costs while enjoying high margins, and the home-based management system will give you a fantastic work/life balance. And you’ll never find work that’s more rewarding.

Choose how to run your business

One of the many benefits of owning a children's computer workshop franchise with ComputerXplorers, is that you can choose how to run your business. Whether you are working from home, or from an office, each day is likely to be different. Typically, there are four main areas that franchisees focus their efforts on:

• Business Development:

  Connecting with your local schools to offer after school clubs, workshops or weekend clubs. These relationships are valuable, so even when schools are on board, you’ll maintain regular contact. This will allow you to gather continuous feedback so that you’re able to grow and improve your ComputerXplorers services. 

• Marketing:

  Whilst ComputerXplorers will provide marketing support for the first year, there will be the need for you to create localised marketing content, such as social media posts or partnerships.  

• Teaching and lesson planning:

  Particularly in the early stages, before you have recruited additional teachers, you will work with the resources provided by ComputerXplorers to plan and run the children’s computing lessons.

• Recruitment:

  Initially, many franchisees choose to teach the classes themselves to save on overheads. However, as you expand, the need arises to recruit teachers. You’ll spend time recruiting teachers, then mentoring and teaching them to deliver the ComputerXplorers curriculum, as well as checking in with them regularly to ensure that they have the tools they need.
