What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, the franchisee is indeed primarily responsible for ensuring their employees are adequately trained. While Creative World School may offer guidance and assistance with initial and weekly employee training programs, the franchisee bears the ultimate responsibility for the training of all employees. This includes ensuring they are fully trained to perform their duties.
Creative World School can provide assistance with employee training at the franchisee's request. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering all associated costs and expenses, including training fees, travel, lodging, meals, and other expenses incurred by Creative World School or the franchisee's employees during the training. Creative World School does not mandate that employees attend their training programs.
It is important to note that any training provided by Creative World School to the franchisee, their managers, and employees is specifically designed to educate them about the operational and educational programs, processes, and standards of Creative World School. This training aims to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate the school in accordance with the established System Standards. However, this training does not govern the terms or conditions of employment for the employees.
