When does the Engineering For Kids training occur in relation to signing the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Engineering For Kids Franchise Disclosure Document, if this is your first Engineering For Kids Business, you (or the Operating Principal, if you are a corporation or other entity) and any other Designated Employee must attend and successfully complete, to Engineering For Kids's satisfaction, the initial training program that Engineering For Kids offers on operating an Engineering For Kids Business. The training is conducted at designated locations (such as conferenced facilities) or virtually.

This means that before opening an Engineering For Kids franchise, the franchisee, operating principal, and any designated employees are required to complete the initial training program. The training aims to equip the franchisee with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate the franchise successfully.

The training program is mandatory for new franchisees and their designated personnel. The location of the training can be at designated conference facilities or conducted virtually, offering flexibility in how the training is delivered. The franchisee must ensure that they and their personnel complete the training program to the satisfaction of Engineering For Kids, which suggests that there may be certain performance or assessment criteria to meet during the training.
