Franchising is a global model for expansion and growth. This exclusive program features two courses covering all aspects of the franchise model. Each course begins with a 10-day online session followed by a 3-day face-to-face classroom session featuring live lectures, guest speakers and small group engagement. This program qualifies for 1,350 education credits from the Certified Franchise Executive program and covers all the face-to-face requirements. You must be independently enrolled in the CFE Program to receive the credits, but you do not have to be in the CFE Program to attend the course. Students who complete both courses within a two-year period receive the prestigious Certificate in Franchise Management from Georgetown University.
