VII.TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE.
7.01 Training. Before the School opens, we will furnish initial training on the operation of a School to you (or, if you are a Business Entity, a person having management rights and powers (e.g. officers, managers, partners, etc.) ("Manager(s)")), and 1 managerial employee you elect to enroll in the training program. You or the Manager and at least 1 other management level employee must satisfactorily complete our initial training. Accordingly, at least 2 persons must complete the training and we may require that a 3rd person complete such training as well. Otherwise, attendance by your employees is optional. The timing of the training currently ranges from: (a) 2 to 3 consecutive weeks of school operations and management training for you (or your Manager) and your managerial employees which will take place at our headquarters or a School or other training facility designated by us. When training is at your School, you must provide an alternative training facility if we feel that construction or other distractions prevent us from satisfactorily performing the training on premises. You (or your Manager) and your managerial employees are required to complete the initial training to our satisfaction. Successful completion of the initial training program by you (and your Manager and managerial employees) is a condition to the opening of the School to the public. You (or your Manager and managerial employees) also are required to participate in all other activities required to operate the School. Although we will furnish initial training to you (or your Manager) and a maximum of 1 other managerial employee at no additional fee or other charge, you will be responsible for all travel and living expenses which you (or your Manager) and your managerial employees incur in connection with training. We will provide on-premises meals to you and your personnel during initial training at our School.
We may require you (or your Manager) and/or previously trained and experienced managerial employees to attend at your expense, periodic refresher training courses at such times and locations that we designate. You must pay our then current per day training fee for each manager that attends such periodic refresher training courses.
- 7.02 Employee Training Program. At your request, we will furnish guidance and assistance to your employees to complete their initial and weekly employee training program consisting of classroom and on-the-job training. If you request us to assist with your employees' training, all costs or expenses incurred in connection with such training, including our then-current training fees, travel, lodging, meals and other expenses incurred by us or your employees in connection with such training, will be your responsibility. You are solely responsible for training all of your employees and ensuring they are fully trained to perform their duties. We do not require your employees to attend our training programs. Any training we provide to you, your Managers and your employees will be limited to educating them about our operational and educational programs, processes and standards so they have the knowledge and skills to help your School operate in accordance with System Standards, and will not govern their terms or conditions of employment.
- 7.03 Additional Training. If, at any time after the School opens, you hire additional management personnel or replace one or more of your Managers, the new Managers or management personnel must satisfactorily attend (at times and locations designated by us) and complete our training program at your expense.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training is provided to the franchisee (or a designated Manager if the franchisee is a business entity) and one managerial employee. Creative World School requires that the franchisee or Manager, along with at least one other management-level employee, must complete the initial training program. The franchisor may also require a third person to complete the training. Employee attendance beyond the mandatory participants is optional. Completion of the initial training is a condition for opening the Creative World School franchise.
The initial training ranges from 2 to 3 consecutive weeks, focusing on school operations and management. This training takes place at Creative World School's headquarters, a designated school, or another training facility. If the training occurs at the franchisee's school, an alternative training facility must be provided if construction or other distractions impede the training process. Franchisees (or their Managers) and managerial employees must also participate in all activities required to operate the school.
Creative World School offers initial training to the franchisee (or Manager) and one other managerial employee without an additional fee. However, the franchisee is responsible for all travel and living expenses incurred by themselves (or their Manager) and their managerial employees in connection with the training. Creative World School will provide on-premises meals during initial training at their school. Creative World School may also require franchisees (or their Managers) and/or previously trained managerial employees to attend periodic refresher training courses at designated times and locations, with the franchisee bearing the expenses and paying the then-current per day training fee for each manager attending.
Creative World School will furnish guidance and assistance to the franchisee's employees to complete their initial and weekly employee training program, consisting of classroom and on-the-job training, if requested.

The franchisee is solely responsible for ensuring all employees are fully trained to perform their duties. Any training provided by Creative World School is limited to educating about operational and educational programs, processes, and standards to help the school operate according to System Standards and does not govern employment terms or conditions.
