Who is responsible for covering the costs if Hyper Kidz determines that I require additional training?

According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Hyper Kidz determines that you require additional training, the costs associated with that training are your sole responsibility. This includes per diem fees for each trainer sent to your location, as well as reimbursement for each trainer's expenses, such as travel, lodging, and meals. Hyper Kidz may determine that additional training is needed based on factors like the results of inspections or guidance you request from them.

This means that as a franchisee, you need to be prepared to cover these potentially unforeseen training expenses. The FDD does not specify how much the per diem fee is, so it is important to ask Hyper Kidz about the current per diem fee for additional training to factor this into your budget.

This requirement for franchisees to cover the costs of additional training is fairly standard in the franchise industry, as it ensures that franchisees maintain the brand's standards and operational procedures. However, the frequency and necessity of such training can vary, so it's crucial to understand the circumstances under which Hyper Kidz might mandate additional training and to budget accordingly.
