The franchise industry faces greater training challenges than most industries. Compressed
margins, competitive and legal pressures, are making it more and more essential
that greater amounts of high-quality training be delivered in a manner that is current,
cost effective, and measurable.
IntraLearn, the premier learning management system, addresses these issues for Franchisors.
By enabling high-quality education and assessment to be delivered and recorded over
the Internet, Franchise Systems can now reduce travel and training costs while ensuring
employee competency levels through recorded assessments. New employees can immediately
access training that is constantly updated reflecting new regulations and techniques.
John Reynolds, President of the IFA Education Foundation says:
"The mission of the IFA Educational Foundation is to raise the professional standards
of franchising through research and education. We have formed the Institute of Certified
Franchise Executives (CFE) to offer courses leading to certification for franchise
professionals. The agreement with IntraLearn will enable the Foundation to leverage
the Internet to reach its goal of expanding our educational programs and making
them more accessible to all IFA members.”
All training and documentation received is recorded in IntraLearn's relational
database making it easy for Franchisors to track whether training obligations have
been met. In addition, IntraLearn gives Franchisors the ability to offer e-commerce
remote registration, deliver completed and updated documentation on-line, and offer
exams to measure competencies.
