in scheduling training to accommodate our personnel, you and your personnel. There currently are no fixed (i.e., monthly or bi-monthly) training schedules. Management Training must be completed at least 1 month prior to Opening.
In addition, 2 to 4 weeks of employee/staff training ("Employee Training") will be provided at your School, another School or training facility and will consist of on-the-job training with a Creative World School® Business trainer for you and your employees. Trainers will observe, demonstrate and discuss with you and your employees appropriate practices to train on Creative World School® Business Franchise policies and curriculum. In addition to this on-the-job training component, you and your employees may be required to participate in weekly 3-hour classroom sessions. The following is an example of our anticipated Employee Training program for you and your employees, which will take place at your School. There are no additional fees for this training, but you must pay the expenses of the trainees which may include food, lodging and travel expenses. (Franchise Agreement – Section 7.2) We expect the Employee Training will be conducted immediately before and after your School opens.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Management Training must be completed at least one month before the school opens. The training is expected to occur after the Franchise Agreement is signed and while the school is under development. Creative World School aims to be flexible when scheduling the training to accommodate their personnel and the franchisee's personnel.
The Management Training program is approximately two to three weeks long and is conducted at Creative World School's designated training facility and/or at an operating school, which is currently located in Florida. At least two people, either the franchisee or their manager, and another management-level employee, must complete the Management Training to Creative World School's satisfaction. Creative World School may also require a third person to complete the training.
It is important to note that a Creative World School franchise cannot open for business until the pre-opening training of the franchisee and their management personnel has been completed to the satisfaction of Creative World School. The franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses of the trainees, including food, lodging, and travel expenses.
