Training

Kuk Sool Won provides several training-related services and support options to franchisees, administered at the discretion of the Franchisor. The training programs are structured as follows:

1. Initial Training: The Franchisor may offer an initial training program for one person affiliated with the Franchisee. This training is entirely at the Franchisor’s discretion and held at a location chosen solely by the Franchisor. Franchisees are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and meal costs associated with the training.
2. Continuing Education Program (CEP): Franchisees or their Designated Instructor are required to attend an annual CEP held at a location designated by the Franchisor. The tuition cost is set by the Franchisor and must be paid in advance. Non-attendance requires payment of a fee equivalent to the CEP tuition. All associated expenses like travel and accommodation are borne by the Franchisee.
3. Annual Training Seminar: A representative of the Franchisee and all instructors must attend a training seminar at least once a year. Attendance is mandatory for other training events deemed essential by the Franchisor.

Territory Protection

Kuk Sool Won grants territory protection to its franchisees, ensuring a degree of exclusivity within a defined area. Specifically, the franchisee is guaranteed the exclusive right to operate a School at the licensed location within the assigned territory.

The Franchisor agrees not to authorize another full-time School within the same boundaries.

However, this protection is not absolute. Kuk Sool Won retains the right to allow the operation of Part-Time Franchised Schools, Club Franchised Schools, Transient Schools, or Pre-Existing Schools within the protected territory.
