What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Engineering For Kids has the right to disapprove of an instructor. While the franchisee has control over the day-to-day operations, Engineering For Kids retains the right to ensure brand standards are upheld.
The FDD states that Engineering For Kids has the right, but not the obligation, to disapprove any individual to serve as a member of the instruction staff if they determine that it is not appropriate for that individual to render services to participants or to conduct Programs. This clause gives Engineering For Kids a degree of oversight regarding who instructs their programs.
This means that while the franchisee is responsible for hiring and managing their staff, Engineering For Kids can step in if they believe a particular instructor is not suitable. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as concerns about the instructor's qualifications, background, or ability to properly deliver the Engineering For Kids program. The franchisee would need to be prepared to replace any instructor that Engineering For Kids disapproves of.
