What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fee for additional employee initial training is invoiced and due prior to the training. The current training fee is $600 per person per day. Deck Medic provides initial pre-opening training at no additional cost for the franchisee, their Managing Owner, and one designated manager. This fee applies to additional individuals that Deck Medic authorizes to attend training. The franchisee is responsible for all fees, wages, and expenses associated with attendance.
This means that if a Deck Medic franchisee wants to send additional employees to the initial training program beyond the complimentary attendees, they will need to budget for this expense. The franchisee will be invoiced for the training fee, which is currently $600 per person per day, and payment must be made before the training takes place. This cost is in addition to any wages, fees, and expenses the employee incurs while attending the training.
Prospective Deck Medic franchisees should consider the potential costs of training additional employees when planning their initial investment and operating budget. It is important to determine how many employees will require training and to factor in the associated fees and expenses. Franchisees should also confirm with Deck Medic the current training fee and any other related costs to ensure accurate budgeting.
