Pingu’s English is a global children’s English language training program based on the popular HIT Entertainment children’s character Pingu™. Pingu’s English, and their network of Master Franchisees, are already transforming the way that young children learn English in over 20 countries worldwide and capitalising on a global market worth at least $15 billion.
Developing English language skills is crucial to giving a child a good headstart in life. The unique syllabus of Pingu’s English combines imaginative activities with multimedia resources for 3-8+ year olds and is exclusive to the Linguaphone Group, a global language training provider with 109 years of experience in the language training market.
Pingu’s English is already helping children successfully learn English in China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand as well as countries across the Middle East and Europe. Now, Pingu’s English is looking to appoint strong Vietnam partners, keen to reap the commercial benefits of the program in all provinces.
Partners do not need to have experience in the education market, it is more important to have the expertise, resources and focus to work together with us to develop Pingu’s English across Vietnam. All Pingu’s English Unit Franchisees will have exclusivity across their territory and receive comprehensive marketing and business support to develop their business.
Master and Unit Franchise rights for Pingu’s English are also available for a number of other Asian markets.
