Is there on-the-job training for DISC for Coffee News franchisees?

According to Coffee News's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, on-the-job training is not specified for DISC (likely referring to personality assessment or a similar concept) in the provided training schedule. The table outlines various subjects included in the training program, such as Profitability, Start-up, Sales, Distribution, Ad design, Artwork, Printing, Branding, Networking, Billing and Collections, Referrals/Power sales, Motivational Videos, Support Services, CN Online and Social Media, Business Plan, and Capulus. Each of these subjects includes 1.0 hours (or .5 hours in some cases) of classroom training and an 8-week mentor program for on-the-job training, except for CN Online and Social Media (2.0 hours) and Business Plan and Capulus (.5 and 1.5 hours respectively).

While the table lists several key areas of training, DISC is listed without specified hours of classroom training, and the on-the-job training is listed as "program" without specifying the hours. This suggests that while DISC may be part of the Coffee News training curriculum, the specifics of its on-the-job training component are not clearly defined in this table. The training takes place in Bangor, ME, and involves instructors such as Mr. Garrett Guernsey, Mr. John Buckley, Mr. Ben Sprague, and Ms. Melissa Coombs.

Given the lack of specific details for DISC training, a prospective Coffee News franchisee should inquire with the franchisor about the content and structure of the DISC training program. Understanding the goals, duration, and format of this training will help the franchisee assess its value and prepare for this aspect of their business operations.
