What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the CNAC Training program requires 16 hours of classroom training. This training is mandatory for the Designated Manager and recommended for other managers. The training takes place at Byrider's Carmel, Indiana headquarters, referred to as the Byrider Franchise Support Center, or at a regional training location selected by Byrider Franchising Partners.
This initial training is part of Byrider's broader support system for franchisees. The Designated Manager is required to attend and successfully complete the Initial Training Program at least 14 days before opening the business. This program is offered to the Designated Manager and up to three additional employees without charge. However, Byrider may charge a nonrefundable fee of $2,500 for each additional employee attending the Initial Training Program.
Franchisees are responsible for covering the travel and living expenses for their employees while they are in training. Byrider also offers formal classroom training regularly each year, contingent upon minimum enrollment numbers. Additional training programs may also be available, held at the corporate office in Carmel, Indiana, select regional U.S. locations, or via webinars. Franchisees are responsible for the travel and entertainment expenses for these events as well.
In addition to formal training, Byrider provides online training certification through its corporate learning management system (LMS), accessible via the corporate portal. This comprehensive approach to training, combining classroom instruction with online resources, aims to equip franchisees and their staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate a successful Byrider franchise.
