However, only one of them is required to do so for qualification. Only qualified Certified Executive Coordinators that have personally attended an ECCT and passed the written test are authorised to teach New UnFranchise Owner Training and Basic 5 Training.

The fee for an Initial ECCT is £30.00 per person for UnFranchise Owners residing in the United Kingdom.

         (3)    An ECCT Audit is for UnFranchise Owners that have already attended at least one ECCT and passed the test. They are attending to gain knowledge or to meet UFO or challenge requirements. The test is optional and will not count for or against the UnFranchise Owner, pass or fail. These attendees have passed the test before and are attending to update their knowledge base or fulfil UFO or Challenge requirements. The fee for an ECCT Audit is £15.00 per person for UnFranchise Owners residing in the United Kingdom.
