The Home of Excellence in Education

The AcademySM Franchise is comprised of postsecondary educational institutions that provide professional level classroom instruction in security, loss prevention and investigation studies to a wide variety of students. Our course and seminar offerings are designed to be specific to the needs of individuals and companies. We offer over 20 courses that are, at a minimum, scheduled each quarter.  We have over 20 proprietary textbooks and curriculums to support these courses of instruction. These offerings are designed to be progressive in nature, beginning with entry level topics and expanding to course study for advanced professionals.  In addition, we offerover 20 professional seminars which are unlimited in their ability to be presented to specialty groups and at corporate functions.

The Academy’sSM primary focus is business security, safety, and loss prevention. We delve into the various methods by which loss can be prevented in all possible contexts. We also offer training in specific areas of investigation (Forensic Accounting, Digital Forensics, Document Examination, Polygraph Examination, for instance) that is designed to add to the skill set of the advanced professional.  Courses and seminars are designed  for private investigators, loss prevention and human resources professionals, security staff, business owners, executives, supervisors, and management trainees.  Additionally, the seminars are designed to draw in the general public with many topics that are pertinent in today's environment.  This offers each franchisee a wide range of students and seminar attendee candidates for each established AcademySM unit.

The AcademySM  has also developed and written the AcademySM Operations Manuals detailing the policies, procedures, methods and practices needed to be followed by a franchisee to run this professional private post secondary instructional institution.

The business model of The AcademySM situates AcademySM units in major metropolitan areas in order to maximize each unit’s income. Courses are scheduled once a quarter at minimum, while seminars can run weekly or more often, all based on demand.  We have also established nine regions that will be awarded to qualified regional developers to support the AcademySM Franchise system. 

Beginning on January 4, 2010, The AcademySM began offering exclusive franchise territories in select states.  [See “
Franchise Opportunities”].   Franchise territories are awarded on a county-by-county basis in these states.  Each territory is a full county. These territories are exclusive in nature.  Each territory, regardless of geographical location, has an assigned $15,000  franchisee fee.  A franchisee may open as many AcademySM units as desired in their franchised territory at no additional franchise fee.  The franchisee must be able to qualify for the corresponding state’s private post secondary instructional institution license, where applicable.  Click on "What We Offer Our Franchisees"  to see the many benefits of becoming a part of the fast growing field of postsecondary education here at the AcademySM.

The AcademySM seeks a limited number of franchisees nationwide for its offered territories as well as nine regional developers.  The AcademySM has determined that it will forgo the development and operation of “company” AcademySM units in favor of devoting all of its resources, time, and talent to its franchisees.
