Elevate Your Beauty School
with SPEC Franchising
Advance Your School
Admissions
Technology has changed the admissions process dramatically over the last ten years. Gen X to Gen Z prospects are the most brand-aware and technologically savvy generations in history! As a result, how we reach and communicate with them is a constantly moving target. What works? What competitive advantages are there to be had? How can a standalone school compete against globally recognized product brands that are leveraging their technology budget across dozens of locations? SPEC admissions systems address all of these questions.
Regulatory
What do you think of when you read the following list? Title IV Funding, Campus Security, Cost of Attendance, Placement Rate Methodology, Net Price Calculator, Re-Accreditation, Title IX Reporting, Student Record Keeping and Cohort Default. Like many school owners, you are likely thinking about how overwhelming the accreditation and federal financial aid landscape has become.
Our regulatory team works closely with our schools, providing them with tools, templates and the latest compliance training – from NACCAS (accrediting agency) to the Dept. of Education (Title IV federal aid).
