What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engel & Volkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Leadership Path Training (LPT) can be conducted either virtually via web-based training platforms or at a physical location in the United States, as determined by Engel & Volkers. The specific location and format are at Engel & Volkers' discretion.
The LPT program includes several subjects such as Introduction to LPT and Onboarding Systematic, Brand Tools and Systems, Considerations for Operating an Engel & Volkers Brokerage, Business Planning, Market Research, Leadership, Recruiting and Specialization, Marketing Tools and Systems, Brand Standards, Introduction to Engel & Volkers Designations, and Talent Management. Each subject involves classroom training, with the total training time amounting to 27 hours. There are no hours of on-the-job training associated with the LPT program.
For prospective Engel & Volkers franchisees, this means that they should be prepared to attend LPT either online or in person at a location selected by Engel & Volkers. Franchisees will also be responsible for covering the costs of transportation, lodging, meals, and other expenses for themselves and their employees or sales advisors when attending training courses. The FDD specifies that attendance at these courses is mandatory.
