Built by Someone Who Understands Franchising

Franchise Education Australia wasn't created by a training company.

It was created by someone who has spent more than two decades helping franchise businesses grow.

I'm Kate Hopley, a franchise executive, capability specialist and instructional designer with experience working across every stage of the franchise journey from franchisee and franchisor to national support office leadership.

Throughout my career, I've worked alongside franchise partners to improve business performance, build capability and develop practical learning solutions that create real outcomes. I've led national training strategies, designed franchise education frameworks, developed operations manuals and supported the growth of franchise networks across Australia.

Every course is written with one goal in mind: helping franchise partners become more confident, capable and commercially successful business owners.

Because franchise education should reflect the realities of franchising, not generic business theory.

Industry Recognition:
  • ✓Certified Franchise Executive (CFE)
  • ✓Master of Business Administration (MBA)
  • ✓Foundations of Directorship - Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD)
  • ✓Franchise Woman of the Year - Franchise Council of Australia
  • ✓Top 30 Franchise Executive (2021, 2025 & 2026)
  • ✓Franchise Council of Australia - State Committee Member

When you invest in Franchise Education Australia, you're investing in education created by someone who understands how franchise systems work and what franchise partners need to succeed.
“Because developing great franchisees shouldn’t stop when onboarding ends.”
