Provide initial training for you if you have not previously trained with us in Logan, Utah or another location we may designate. We may provide initial training for your employees or others we designate (Franchise Agreement - Section 3.A. and 3.B.).
Within 90 days of signing your franchise agreement and before opening your Business, you must complete the New Buyer Training on the operation of a Chem-Dry Business, and you must train your employees. The New Buyer Training is a three-week program consisting of two weeks of at home study and five days of classroom/hands-on training. If this is your first Chem-Dry Business, you will be required to complete New Buyer Training to our satisfaction. New Buyer Training is held monthly at CDI in Logan, Utah, or another location designated by CDI. The Initial Package includes the cost for you and one other person to attend the New Buyer Training. Additional attendees may attend this training program, which we call "Initial Training," and you will be charged $75 per day per person to attend Initial Training. You are responsible for all travel expenses and living expenses for yourself and your employees while attending this Training.
If CDI determines, in its sole discretion, that any attendee fails to satisfactorily complete Initial Training or New Buyer Training, CDI shall have the right to require the attendee to attend the next training session at the franchisee's expense.
