Training

Prepaze Academy provides a structured training program for franchisees and their management teams to ensure consistent operational standards. Here are the numbered components of the training provided by the franchisor:

1. Initial Training Program – This program is conducted entirely online using video and web conferencing. It lasts approximately 1 to 3 days, depending on the prior experience of the attendees, and must be completed at least 15 days before opening the franchise.
2. Required Attendees – The Operating Principal, managers, on-premises supervisors, and teachers must all attend and successfully complete this training. Attendees must also sign a non-disclosure agreement before participating.
3. Supplemental Training – Additional training may be required if a franchisee is in default or if the franchisor believes it's in the best interest of the franchise. Replacement training for new managers or Operating Principals must be completed within 10 days of assuming responsibilities.
4. Instructor Training – Franchisees must train their instructors within 10 days of hire. If the franchisor provides this training, a fee is charged per person, per subject.

Territory Protection

Prepaze Academy grants each franchisee an exclusive territory, typically defined by a 10-driving mile radius. However, this area may be reduced if demographic data indicates a population of more than 2,500 children aged 5 to 19 within that radius, to better match the franchise's target market.

The franchisor agrees not to open another Prepaze Academy franchise within this protected territory as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement.

Despite this exclusivity, Prepaze Academy and its affiliates retain the right to market and sell services and products through other channels—such as online platforms—even within a franchisee’s territory. Franchisees are not compensated for any business generated by the franchisor within their own area through these alternate methods.
