Can Eos Worldwide require Implementers to obtain certifications to be eligible for a tier?
Eos_Worldwide Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We currently categorize "full-time "operating Implementers into three different tiers, "Professional", "Certified" or "Expert", as further described in Item 6 and Item 12. We also have created separate tiers, "Legacy" and "Emeritus", for Implementers who are transitioning into retirement but would like to remain part of our EOS Implementer Community. All new Implementers to the EOS Franchise System that complete Boot Camp are designated initially as a "Professional EOS Implementer" and pay the same initial franchise fee and the same Boot Camp Fee, to receive our proprietary and comprehensive training program described in Item 11. However, each tier pays a different set monthly fee (in lieu of a traditional royalty), as further described in Item 6. Tier designations govern: (1) the lists of Products and Services offered by the Franchised Business; (2) the level and amount of training received and experience with implementing EOS as an EOS Implementer; (3) the opportunities to market and advertise your Franchised Business and your tier within the EOS Franchise System; (4) requirements to maintain levels of proficiency for your tier and (5) other rights and features described in this Disclosure Document and the Operations Manual (as defined in Item 8). We may require that Implementers obtain designated certifications or meet certain qualifications to be eligible for a tier, and we may change or modify those standards from time to time at our discretion.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Eos Worldwide Franchise Disclosure Document, Eos Worldwide categorizes its full-time operating Implementers into tiers: "Professional", "Certified", or "Expert". New Implementers completing Boot Camp are initially designated as "Professional EOS Implementers". Each tier is subject to a different monthly fee.
The tier designation determines the products and services offered, the level of training and experience, marketing and advertising opportunities, and requirements to maintain proficiency. Eos Worldwide retains the discretion to require Implementers to obtain specific certifications or meet certain qualifications to be eligible for a particular tier. These standards are subject to change or modification at Eos Worldwide's discretion.
This means that as an Eos Worldwide franchisee, your tier level, and therefore your monthly fees and business opportunities, may depend on certifications or qualifications that Eos Worldwide mandates. These requirements can change over time, so it is important to stay informed of any updates from the franchisor.
