Franchising Call center academy

The Call Center Academy (CCA) was established in 2001 to address the pressing need of providing employment opportunities for the call center and business process outsourcing (BPO) industry. CCA initially started as a training institution, offering public classes on call center training programs and catering to aspiring call center agents – fresh graduates and career shifters. Later on, CCA expanded its horizons by giving customized training programs and consultancy services to private companies (across different industries) and schools.

Currently, CCA has placement and training arrangements with several of the largest call centers in the country. CCA holds training for the agents of certain contact centers in order for them to be recruited. This has also been beneficial to the graduates of CCA vis-à-vis employment, enabling them to gain priority and access in the hiring and recruitment process of these contact centers during the course of their training and upon graduation.

Now, CCA is expanding its operations via franchising. If you are interested in helping in the growth and development of both CCA and the country, do give us a call at 890-4993 and we shall be glad to assist you. If you wish to know more, kindly send us an email at info@callcenteracademy.com.ph or call_center_academy@yahoo.com.
