Training
Before the School's opening, we will provide initial training in the form of School operations management training ("Management Training") to you, or your manager, and at least 1 other management level employee for no additional fee, except that you must pay the expenses of the trainees, including food, lodging and travel expenses. At least 2 persons must complete the Management Training to our satisfaction and we may require that a 3rd person complete such Management Training to our satisfaction as well. Approximately 2 to 3 weeks of Management Training will be furnished at our designated training facility and/or at an operating School. Currently, the Management Training is conducted at one of our locations in Florida. You and your managerial employees must complete the initial training to our satisfaction. We expect that Management Training will be conducted after the Franchise Agreement has been signed and while the School is being developed. We plan to be flexible 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.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, initial management training is provided for you, or your manager, and at least one other management-level employee at no additional fee. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses of the trainees, which include costs for food, lodging, and travel. Creative World School may require a third person to complete the training to their satisfaction as well.
This management training, which lasts approximately 2 to 3 weeks, is conducted at Creative World School's designated training facility and/or at an operating school, with current training taking place at one of their Florida locations. The training is expected to occur after the Franchise Agreement has been signed and while the school is being developed. Creative World School aims to be flexible when scheduling the training to accommodate their personnel, the franchisee, and their personnel.
In addition to the initial management training, Creative World School requires you, your director, and/or previously trained and experienced directors to attend periodic refresher training courses, for which applicable fees must be paid. Furthermore, the franchisee will have to pay Creative World School for training new leadership team members hired after the school's opening. Employee training must be conducted by trainers that Creative World School has approved or certified.
