e wages. You may also have additional personnel trained by us for your Hyper Kidz, at your expense.

opportunity to retake our training program at your expense. If you do not satisfactorily complete the initial training program a second time, we may terminate your Franchise Agreement. Franchise owners and their family members may not be General Managers without prior approval from us.
If the General Manager does not satisfactorily complete the initial training program or if we determine that the General Manager cannot satisfactorily complete the training program, you must designate a replacement to satisfactorily complete the training, at your expense, before you will be permitted to open your Hyper Kidz Business.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hyper Kidz may terminate the Franchise Agreement if the franchisee (or one of their Principals) does not satisfactorily complete the initial training program, even after being given an opportunity to retake it at their own expense. This initial training program is mandatory and must be completed no later than 60 days before the Hyper Kidz Business begins operation.
Furthermore, if the General Manager does not satisfactorily complete the initial training program, the franchisee must designate a replacement who must satisfactorily complete the training before the Hyper Kidz Business can open. Any subsequently designated General Manager must also complete the initial training to Hyper Kidz's satisfaction, even if it requires sending that manager to the headquarters training program at the franchisee's expense.
These stipulations highlight the importance Hyper Kidz places on proper training and adherence to their standards. The potential for termination underscores the need for franchisees and their key personnel to be fully committed to the training process. The franchisee is responsible for covering all expenses associated with training, including travel, lodging, meals, and applicable wages for themselves and their trainees. Additionally, Hyper Kidz has the right to charge a reasonable fee (currently $1,500) for the initial training provided to a replacement or successor employee if Hyper Kidz has not approved the franchisee to provide the training.
