Crown Gold Exchange provides standard pre-opening training to the Principal Executive and up to 2 other employees. This training takes place at Crown Gold Franchising's headquarters or at a Crown Gold Exchange business designated by them. There is no fee charged for this initial training, but the franchisee is responsible for covering their own travel, lodging, meal, and other out-of-pocket expenses. Crown Gold Franchising reserves the right to change the length and content of the initial training program based on the experience and skill level of the individuals attending.
In addition to pre-opening training, Crown Gold Exchange may also require the Principal Executive and/or other employees to complete further training programs at any time after opening. These programs can be in any format and location determined by Crown Gold Franchising. Crown Gold Franchising may charge a reasonable fee for these post-opening training programs. If travel is required for these programs, the franchisee is responsible for all travel, living, and other expenses.
