Under what circumstances might Carvel require Certified Training Managers to be recertified?

According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Carvel may require Certified Training Managers to be recertified under certain circumstances. These include if a manager transfers from one franchised business to another, if they no longer meet Carvel's current requirements for the position, or on an annual basis.

This means that franchisees need to be aware that their training managers may need to undergo recertification, which could involve additional time and resources. The potential for annual recertification adds an ongoing compliance element to the role of a Certified Training Manager.

It is important for prospective Carvel franchisees to understand the full scope of these recertification requirements, including any associated costs or time commitments, to ensure they can maintain qualified training staff and comply with Carvel's standards.
