Can the Bumble Roofing training program be changed?
Bumble_Roofing Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The entire training program is subject to change due to updates in materials, changes or additions to the services offered, introduction of new methods and cleaning techniques, manuals and personnel. The subjects and time periods allocated to the subjects actually taught to specific franchisees may vary, based on the experience of the persons being trained.
Our training is conducted by: David Bitan, who has 16 years of experience in the field and 5 years of experience with the BUMBLE ROOFING® system; and Jake Mathre, who has 1 year of experience with the BUMBLE ROOFING® system and 8 years of experience with Empower Brands franchise operations. We may change, supplement or substitute training personnel as necessary, and we may delegate our duties and share our responsibilities with regard to training. Any individual involved in training will have at least one year of experience in the subject he/she teaches.
We use the Operations Manual as the sole reference material during our training sessions. New franchisees receive a copy of the Operations Manual and are instructed to carefully review its content.
We may require you or your Designated Business Manager attend all supplemental and refresher training programs that we designate. We may charge you a reasonable fee for any supplemental and refresher training programs. You must pay the then-current fee for such training programs, if any, and all personal travel and living expenses.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bumble Roofing's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the training program is subject to change. The franchisor may make changes due to updates in materials, changes or additions to the services offered, and the introduction of new methods and cleaning techniques. The time allocated to specific subjects may also vary based on the experience of the persons being trained.
Bumble Roofing may also change, supplement, or substitute training personnel as necessary and delegate training duties. Any individual involved in training will have at least one year of experience in the subject they teach. The Operations Manual serves as the sole reference material during training sessions, and new franchisees receive a copy to review.
Bumble Roofing may require franchisees or their Designated Business Manager to attend supplemental and refresher training programs, for which a reasonable fee may be charged. Franchisees are responsible for paying the then-current fee for such training programs, as well as all personal travel and living expenses. This flexibility allows Bumble Roofing to keep its franchisees up-to-date with the latest industry standards and practices, but it also means that the specific content and duration of the training may not be fixed.
