What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Cinch I.T. Franchise Disclosure Document, Cinch I.T. may provide additional training programs that it develops in the future. Franchisees are required to attend these programs, but Cinch I.T. will not charge a fee for mandatory programs, except for remedial training.
However, the franchisee is responsible for covering travel costs and other expenses incurred while attending these training programs for themselves and anyone attending with them. Cinch I.T. may charge for optional training programs.
This means that while Cinch I.T. covers the cost of the training itself (unless it's remedial or optional), franchisees need to budget for transportation, accommodation, and other related expenses when attending any additional required training programs. It is important to clarify with Cinch I.T. what types of additional training programs are typically offered, how often they occur, and the estimated costs involved to adequately prepare for these potential expenses.
