Amerispec_Inspection_Services Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Additional Training and Assistance. We may, but are not required, to provide or make available to franchisees training on the performance of other residential and commercial building inspections.
All franchisees wishing to perform commercial inspections must meet our standards as specified in the Operations Manual, obtain our approval, and become certified in commercial property inspections from a program that we approve. Currently, the approved commercial inspection training program is conducted by an independent third party, which charges a fee, and is separate from our Initial Training.
We offer additional regional training programs and refresher courses to our franchisees and their inspectors from time to time for additional and continuing technical education. The number of regional sessions held may vary from year to year at our discretion. We may charge a fee for such programs.
