Franchisee responsibilities

The following needs to be done from a Campus point of view to ensure we are very successful in this endeavour:

Entries

Where a prospective student is unable to complete the entry online, he or she will be allowed to visit a Campus where a Student Advisor or Campus Staff will be permitted to assist with the entry process. The process has been outlined above, so please ensure that everyone is familiar with this.

Campuses are also encouraged to spread the word about the competition. SMS messages can be sent to prospective students and interested parties. Remember, the more entries we receive, the greater your pool of prospects for any further campaigns in the future.

Selection of winners

As all entries will be online, a list of all entries will be sent to each Campus on 27 January, 17 February and on 17 March. The Franchisee/Campus Principal needs to invite prospective students for interviews to ensure we pick the most suitable candidate as a winner. Bursary allocations are as follows:

ALBERTON 5
BELLVILLE 10
BENONI 5
BRAAMFONTEIN 5
EAST LONDON 10
KLERKSDORP 10
KEMPTON PARK 10
KING WILLIAMS TOWN 5
MIDRAND 10
PORT ELIZABETH 10
PRETORIA 5
QUEENSTOWN 10
RUSTENBURG 10
UITENHAGE 5
MTHATA 5
NELSPRUIT 5

Head Office will be hold 10 Bursaries and should a Campus require more, a motivation needs to be submitted to Marketing for consideration. Should these not be handed out via the Campuses, Head Office will allocate these by way of competition.

Interviews

Interviews need to be conducted and finalised within the week following the draw date – where possible. Should a prospective student be unavailable, exceptions will be allowed.

When interviewing the prospective student, look for passion, spark and ultimately a future ambassador of the MSC Business College brand. We would love to keep in touch with these winners to see how they experience our brand and use them on social media to attract new students.

As soon as a winner has been chosen, the student’s name and ID number has to be sent to Marketing so that we can finalise the process.

Tablets

Once the winners have been communicated to Marketing, we will furnish the winner with an official letter stating that they have won. Bursary Tablets may be collected from Braamfontein for all the Northern Campuses and all Eastern Cape Campuses will collect from East London. Should you require a courier service for the distribution of the Tablets, you will be liable for the courier fee as well as the necessary insurance while in transit.

General

By law, we need to have a copy of the competition rules available at all times. Please ensure that the Terms and Conditions are printed and available should any member of the public need to view these. The Terms and Conditions will also be loaded onto our website.

The registration fee must be waivered for all winners.

In conclusion, as mentioned before, this partnership will offer us the perfect opportunity to build the MSC Business College brand even further, ensuring that we become an even greater force to be reckoned with in future. This is a fantastic opportunity, and we need to make the most of this.

If any Campus needs further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact the Marketing Department on (011) 403 2011 or VOIP 2011 or alternatively on cellphone, 082 324 3927.
