Qualified Franchise Professional (QFP)
The Qualified Franchise Professional (QFP) is the formal recognition of your professional knowledge and experience in franchising. It demonstrates that you understand the complexities and best practice in franchising and have invested time to continuously develop your understanding.
Intrinsically linked to the learning from established seminars and key events, this franchise qualification allows you to capitalise on the synergy between extended learning and existing good business practice. You are able to increase and extend your knowledge and experience, without major disruption to your ongoing work commitments. In addition, the QFP is a valuable tool in the training and retaining of staff, offering a beneficial addition to people’s skill sets.
