One of the UK’s leading providers of high quality training for practising teachers Confidentially offered for sale Ref. no: CC056 Location: East Sussex Asking price: £315,000 Asking price includes: Turnover in excess of £400,000 for the 2006 financial year Gross margins of approximately 60% Established for ten years, this business is one of the UK’s leading providers of high quality training for practising teachers. Run by teachers themselves and currently concentrating mainly on the secondary school sector, all courses are of current relevance, based on the latest curriculum and educational policies and offer effective strategies, practical guidance and resources for immediate use in the classroom. This business operates nationwide holding courses in major cities throughout the academic year throughout the country with Continuous Professional Development the key feature to its overall approach. Approximately 100 days of training are currently held each year with upto thirty places available on each day. A diverse range of topics are covered which include a number of core ‘timeless’ offerings such as Middle and Senior Management Skills together with courses specifically developed for more pressing, current issues such as Counselling, Truancy, Bullying and the like. Courses are scheduled to have maximum impact and therefore geared to generate maximum demand within the school year – courses on the development of Middle Management skills are held early in the New Year for example, aimed specifically at teachers considering applying for these posts which become vacant later in the new school year. Quality, contemporary content at an affordable price is the cornerstone to the success of this business. Trends in education are continuously monitored to ensure programmes are up-to-date and meet current and emerging needs within the world of education. Tutors are very carefully chosen not only for their extensive expertise and experience within their chosen specialist area but also for their ability to enthuse fellow teachers about the innovative techniques they've developed. This business delivers a very high level of customer satisfaction and can boast an extensive and very impressive Client list of schools throughout the country, the vast majority of which have provided repeat bookings for a number of years. It is estimated that this business has sold courses to approximately half the schools in the country and a far higher proportion in Scotland, with courses held in local hotels and Conference suites. Approximately half of the delegates on any course are the result of a recommendation from a delegate that had already attended the course previously. This is a very well managed business that is easy to run. With turnover slightly in excess of £400,000 for the 2006 financial year generating gross profits of £236,000 this represents an excellent acquisition opportunity for an existing operator in the sector or a more generalist training business looking to establish themselves within the teacher training sector.
