Training & Support |
||
| PC-ER | Tech Hero | |
| Training | A franchisee should be at least A+ certified prior to entering this arrangement. There is a prescreening test provided to help us make sure we aren't setting the franchisee up for failure. We want success for us and them alike. We also have arranged a 30 hour, pre-franchise signing, Entrepreneurial training to help them make sure they know what goes into running a business. This is designed to help them write their own Business Plan and provide a mentoring coach over the next 12 months. | Though tuition is included in the Franchise Fee, travel and living expenses will be charged to the Franchisee. The 5-day Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator course is offered in 230 locations. Travel and living expenses will also be charged to the Franchisee for the 4-day hands-on management training which is conducted in Orlando, Florida. |
| Support | Our home location has technicians on staff available to assist in problem areas. | |
| Marketing | ||
| Operations | Each PC-ER inside Walmart is responsible for store opening for 70 hours a week. I know this may sound like a lot but we are working on the premise that they are providing 3000+ walk by traffic daily. The franchisee can choose to hire someone support staff if necessary and adjustments can be made to their scheduled opening provided it is approved by PC-ER, LLC and Walmart prior to making the change. | |
