Initial Training

Once you qualify as a potential Kumon Franchise owner, you’ll participate in our Kumon Instructor Development Program. There will be two four-day sessions of training, held over a two-month period. You’ll participate in a series of centre visits for more hands-on training. Our training covers Kumon Curriculum, lesson plans and business & centre management strategies for successful centre operations. You’ll also begin exploring possible retail locations and leases for your centre space.
