Additional Training
We may provide additional or remedial training at our discretion, and we may require you and your staff to complete such training. The training will be conducted at our designated training center or another location. This training is provided at no charge for the first two attendees. We will charge you $1,000 per week for each additional person attending the training. You are responsible for your related incurred costs for hotel, travel, and wages for you and your attendees.
If you are a multi-unit APLUS franchisee, you must have at least one full-time employee who has successfully completed our required training, at our satisfaction, on duty in each APLUS Store at least 40 hours per week. This employee may be our trained manager.
