What is the fee for Assistant Managers/Supervisors training for Atwell Suites?

According to Atwell Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hotels should allocate annual predetermined amounts per full-time employee for optional value-add and specialist courses. For Assistant Managers/Supervisors, the allocated amount is $450. This fee is part of a broader structure for training, where core training for certain positions is included in the annual IHG University subscription.

This allocation is intended for optional, value-add, and specialist courses, suggesting that Atwell Suites franchisees have flexibility in how they develop their staff beyond the core requirements. The FDD specifies that learning categorized as "core" is included within the subscription model and includes critical learning designed to effectively onboard team members, support the operational needs of a Hotel, and comply with brand standards to deliver a branded guest experience.

It's important to note that the $450 is an allocated amount, not necessarily a mandatory fee. The actual expenditure will depend on the franchisee's choices regarding additional training programs. Furthermore, if the amount of value-add and specialist training exceeds 2% of the Hotel's total salaries and wages budget, the Learning & Development allocation should be capped at 2% of the Hotel's total salaries and wages budget.
