Franchising

The education franchises operated by The Linguaphone Group are united to two common factors; our uniquely-designed confidence-focused curriculums developed by industry-leading educators, and our flexible learning options via physical education centres and online learning platforms. Both elements have allowed our franchise partners to benefit from sustainable growth through political, social and pandemic factors within their markets.

The education sector is a growing and significant international industry, with demand increasing for English language learning options, particularly within the business and pre-school markets.
