What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Engineering For Kids FDD, the initial training program does not include any hours of on-the-job training. The training program consists of classroom training conducted remotely or at designated locations.
The Engineering For Kids training covers various subjects, including EFK Brand and Marketing Overview, Sales Training, Initial Marketing Campaign, Business Best Practices, Computer Systems and Technology, Customer Service, Personnel/HR, and Engineering For Kids Curriculum. The total classroom training time is 20 hours. Additional training includes Learning EFK (3 hours) and Developing Marketing Strategy (6 hours).
Prospective Engineering For Kids franchisees should note that while the initial training focuses on classroom instruction, ongoing support and additional training programs may be offered during the operation of the franchised business. These additional programs could potentially include on-the-job components, but this is not specified in the initial training details. Franchisees may want to inquire about the structure and content of any optional or mandatory training programs offered after the initial setup.
