What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crawlspace Medic Franchise Disclosure Document, field technicians are required to attend a pre-opening training program that lasts approximately two weeks at the Crawlspace Medic headquarters. This training is in addition to the four-week training program for the franchisee or operating principal.
Following the initial training, Crawlspace Medic also provides one week of on-site training at the franchisee's location within 30 days of opening. This on-site training supplements the initial two-week program, offering practical guidance and support as the franchisee begins operations. The franchise agreement stipulates that the franchisee and up to two employees can attend the initial training, with no additional charge included as part of the initial franchise fee.
The Crawlspace Medic training program uses the Operations Manual, hands-on experience, and field settings. The training covers standards for operations, management, and marketing. If the franchisee or their employees do not complete the pre-opening training program to Crawlspace Medic's satisfaction, Crawlspace Medic reserves the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement.
