What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, supplemental training is available at the current daily rate of $600 per trainer, in addition to any expenses incurred by Deck Medic. This supplemental training becomes necessary if the franchisee requests additional training or if Deck Medic requires it.
This means that if a Deck Medic franchisee feels they need extra training beyond the initial program, or if Deck Medic mandates further training to ensure compliance or improve performance, the franchisee will be responsible for covering these costs. The $600 per day rate covers the trainer's time, but franchisees should also budget for potential travel and accommodation expenses for the trainer, which can add to the overall cost.
Franchisees should consider the potential need for supplemental training and factor these costs into their financial projections. It's advisable to discuss with Deck Medic under what circumstances supplemental training might be required and how to minimize these expenses through effective initial training and ongoing support.
