Who is required to attend the initial training for a C3 Wellness Spa franchise?

If this is your first Spa Location Franchise, we will provide initial training for you or, if you are a Corporate Entity, your Managing Owner plus one designated manager. You, or your Managing Owner, plus your one designated manager must successfully attend and complete the initial training program to our satisfaction no later than 45 days prior to the opening of your Spa Location Franchise. The initial training program takes place over an approximate two week period. We typically schedule training four to six times a year and every eight to 12 weeks. If more than six individuals attend initial training, you will be charged an additional fee per additional persons attending initial training (Item 6). Although we provide you plus your general manager with initial training at no additional fee or charge, you will be responsible for paying for all travel expenses and employee wages that you incur in your initial training attendance and participation. (Franchise Agreement, Article 4). Currently, we provide our initial training program no less frequently than quarterly and on an as-needed basis. Training for an unlicensed franchisee will focus exclusively on the operation of the business, retail and back-office functions. It will not include training that could be considered the practice of medicine.
