Premises and equipment

To initiate a course can be a maximum savings - without rent and preparation of a separate room. In the early months, many course creators are renting by the hour internet cafe, over time, increasing the group and duration of courses. After the first steady income appears, you can open your own computer class, purchase the necessary equipment and machinery.

With time, with the development of the enterprise is necessary to find and equip a certain way for training room. Many entrepreneurs from that stage start building your business, that rationally considering, that the situation, design and equipment will be one of the factors attracting and retaining customers.

The best option for opening the computer courses will be rooms for rent. Optional rent a whole building - this may be part of the existing floor or closed school, any other organization, which it is convenient to open a number of classes for training. The specifics of any training courses - in the need for several separate rooms to conduct classes, as well as a spacious room, where you can set the computers and other equipment, and also to place a large audience of listeners. That is why several school classes are ideal for this purpose. The school will be good and even their equipment - in classes usually have desks, wooden plank, wardrobes for clothes and other equipment. Besides, educational facilities are always equipped with heating and a bathroom. All these features are very important to open a full-fledged computer school and allow students to gain permanent groups.

Equipment for the start of the course includes the following items:

– computers in the required quantity with modern software and hardware;

– if necessary - Scanners, Printers and other auxiliaries;

– three-piece wall board for writing with chalk and markers;

Recruitment for computer courses no difficulty: conduct classes for beginners and intermediate level students can any expert corresponding profile. Usually invite teachers of secondary and higher educational institutions on a part time. Training programs are typically the teachers themselves - it is important to, that they are sufficiently qualified and experienced to work with clients. If courses founder has enough knowledge and experience, and it has the necessary qualifications for teaching, it can independently carry out part of the course. In addition to teachers, courses will need administrator, responsible for advising potential customers, their record in the group, payment receipt and other organizational functions. If the courses are working full-time throughout the week, needed at least two administrators. Duties accountant can perform the chief executive.

The same applies to technical staff - in the state to be cleaner, but sometimes more profitable to enter into a contract with a cleaning company.

Features of the advertising campaign

Before your ad for training services work on a computer, should clearly indicate the number of potential customers. If the organization offers its services mainly to students of primary level (people tend to refer to them by 40 years old, who by occupation is necessary to master computer skills), the nature of the promotion will have a special character. Pursuing the promotion of vocational training services to certain areas of the computer, should pay more attention to advertising among pupils and students.

Ads should be as informative and bright, attracting the attention of the target audience. You can place advertisements in schools - graduates, planning to get a programmer education, often they need to improve their knowledge and can become one of the categories of clients.

Good work in the subway ad, at public transport stops and billboards. true, this type of advertising has a much wider scope of audience, than necessary - not all read the ads are interested in the services offered. Therefore ad, placed around the city, better to combine with other methods. It is important to immediately develop a website, which will present all the information regarding services, the company offers. Creation and development of the site should instruct professionals in the promotion of the network - if the resource is in the top search queries, the pool of potential customers will increase significantly.

If the level of income and the amount of work will remain roughly at this level during the first two years of development, Service volumes increase and consumption will be from 11 to 18 percent annually. Consequently, by the end of the reporting period, sales volumes reached 9,48 million a year. But before you make such a conclusion, should calculate the exact costs, that will accompany the implementation of this project since its inception. All the main points discussed below:

item of expenditure	1 month	12 months	one-off expenses	Total for the year
rent, redecorating	50 thousand	600 thousand	50 thousand	50 thousand
