Under what conditions might the instructors for the Coffee News training program change?

According to the 2025 Coffee News Franchise Disclosure Document, the instructors for the training program may change based on instructor availability and location convenience. Instructors are chosen based on their years of experience publishing Coffee News, their compliance with franchise standards, and their communication skills, which are assessed through presentations at conferences. A minimum of two years of publishing experience with Coffee News is required for instructors.

This means that while Mr. William Buckley is currently in charge of all training, prospective Coffee News franchisees should be aware that the specific individuals providing training may vary over time. This could be due to scheduling conflicts, geographical considerations, or the need to bring in instructors with specific expertise relevant to the current training needs.

The criteria for selecting instructors—experience, compliance, and communication skills—suggest that Coffee News aims to maintain a consistent quality of training even if the personnel change. The requirement of at least two years of publishing experience ensures that instructors have practical, hands-on knowledge of the Coffee News business model. Franchisees should confirm during their due diligence that the current instructors meet these standards and inquire about the process for selecting and vetting new instructors to ensure ongoing training quality.
