What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program is mandatory for specific individuals before the Hyper Kidz Business begins operation. No later than 60 days before the business opens, the franchisee (or one of their Principals), the General Manager, and one additional trainee must attend and complete the initial training program to Hyper Kidz's satisfaction. This means that up to three people are required to attend the initial training.
The training program is held at Hyper Kidz's Affiliate's location in Columbia, Maryland, at the headquarters, or another designated location. The schedule for the training programs varies throughout the year, depending on factors such as the number of new franchisees, replacement general managers, and the timing of new Hyper Kidz Business openings.
Hyper Kidz provides instructors and training materials for the initial training of the franchisee, the General Manager, and one additional trainee as part of the training fee. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the expenses incurred by themselves and their trainees, including travel, lodging, meals, and applicable wages. If the franchisee (or one of their Principals) does not satisfactorily complete the initial training program, they will be given an opportunity to retake the training program at their own expense. Failure to complete the training program satisfactorily a second time may result in the termination of the Franchise Agreement.
