Number of units

Training

WorldKids School offers a well-defined training program for its franchisees and key personnel to ensure consistent and effective operation of the business. The training spans multiple components, each with specific requirements and objectives. The following are the numbered training programs:

  1. Initial Training Program: Two employees of the franchisee must attend and successfully complete the initial training program before the business opens. This training covers operations and administration and is conducted at a location designated by the franchisor. While there’s no tuition fee, all related travel, lodging, and salary costs are the responsibility of the franchisee.
  2. Failure to Complete Training: If the franchisee or manager fails to complete the training satisfactorily, the franchisor may terminate the agreement or require the appointment of a replacement. Training for replacements costs $500 per day per person, plus travel and lodging expenses.
  3. Opening Assistance: The franchisor provides site selection and opening assistance to help establish the business. Additional assistance may be requested and is subject to the franchisor’s approval and billed at standard rates plus expenses.

Territory Protection

WorldKids School provides franchisees with an exclusive territory in which no other company-owned or franchised outlet selling similar goods or services under the same or similar trademarks will be established. This territory is typically defined by a 5-mile radius or other geographic boundaries such as zip codes or political lines.

Importantly, continuation of territorial rights is not contingent on meeting any performance criteria like sales volume or market penetration. Despite this exclusivity, WorldKids School retains the right to engage in sales through alternative channels like internet, telemarketing, and direct marketing, even within the franchisee’s assigned territory.

These sales may involve use of the franchisor’s trademarks, but the franchisor typically directs local inquiries back to the franchisee’s outlet. Franchisees are not entitled to compensation for any sales generated by these alternative channels, and the franchisor may implement cross-territorial marketing protocols or advertising campaigns that span multiple franchise areas.
