What expenses are Engineering For Kids franchisees responsible for when they or their personnel attend training?

According to Engineering For Kids's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for covering certain expenses when they or their personnel attend training programs. These expenses include salaries, benefits, travel costs, lodging, meals, and other related expenses incurred during the training period. This applies to any training that Engineering For Kids provides.

Engineering For Kids also retains the right to charge franchisees for training additional personnel or for retraining individuals who are repeating the course or replacing someone who did not pass the initial training. The FDD mentions that additional details regarding training can be found in Item 11 of the disclosure document.

Furthermore, the table in Item 6 specifies an "Additional Training or Assistance" fee. This fee is the then-current standard training fee for initial training, which is currently $300 per person but is subject to change. This fee is due at the time of the additional training. The remarks section of the table reiterates that the franchisee is responsible for all costs, including transportation, lodging, meals, and personal expenses.
