Hyper_Kidz Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
No later than 60 days before the date your Hyper Kidz Business begins operation, you (or one of your Principals), your General Manager and one additional trainee (for a maximum of three people) must attend and complete, to our satisfaction, our mandatory initial training program. Training will be conducted at our Affiliate's Hyper Kidz Business in Columbia, Maryland, at our headquarters, or at another location we designate. Initial training programs will be offered at various times during the year depending on the number of new franchisees entering the System, replacement general managers and other personnel needing training, the number of new Hyper Kidz Businesses being opened and the timing of the scheduled openings of Hyper Kidz Businesses. There is currently no set schedule for providing our training program. We may train more than one franchisee and their General Managers at the same training session.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Hyper Kidz Franchise Disclosure Document, there is currently no set schedule for the initial training program. The training is conducted at Hyper Kidz's Affiliate's Business in Columbia, Maryland, at their headquarters, or another designated location.
The training schedule depends on several factors, including the number of new franchisees, replacement general managers, other personnel needing training, and the timing of scheduled openings of Hyper Kidz Businesses. This means a prospective franchisee will need to coordinate with Hyper Kidz to determine when training will be available, and it may not align perfectly with their desired opening timeline.
Franchisees (or one of their Principals), their General Manager, and one additional trainee, for a maximum of three people, must attend and complete the mandatory initial training program no later than 60 days before the Hyper Kidz Business opens. The franchisee is responsible for all expenses incurred while attending the training, including travel, lodging, meals, and applicable wages. Given the lack of a fixed schedule, franchisees should factor in potential flexibility and costs associated with travel and accommodation when planning their business launch.
