Requirements to set up a Joint Venture are simple. All the partner company needs is a
computer lab with minimum 5 computers, 2 trainers & a marketing representative to set
up the business. And as Appin does not demand exclusivity of the center, you are free to
run other courses not covered in the Appin domain as well or use the lab for any other
purpose in its free time.
Thus Appin Joint Venture/Franchisee program is a win-win situation for our partner with
almost zero risk and 100% profits going to the partner without the troubles of getting into
technical know-how of course preparation/testing or certification & student placement.
APPIN LABS (COLLEGES & EDUCATIONAL TRUSTS)

or an educational trust. In this setting, an Appin Centre is set up within the college
premises and caters to both Appin Center & College Connect programs. College Students
take Appins courses within the college premise itself and are taught by colleges own
professors who are Appin certified in niche technology areas. It is colleges decision to
make the Appin Lab open for outside students as well thereby making it an even more
profitable venture.
