What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program for replacement Operating Managers is currently held at the affiliate-owned Deck Medic Business in Frankfort, Illinois. However, Deck Medic retains the flexibility to conduct this training at certified training Deck Medic Businesses they may designate in the future, at the franchisee's location, or at another location designated by them.
Franchisees should note that they are required to pay a supplemental training fee for replacement Operating Managers. As of the 2024 FDD, this fee is $600 per manager per day for each replacement manager attending the initial training. This cost is in addition to any travel, lodging, and other expenses incurred by the manager during training.
This multi-location training approach provides Deck Medic with adaptability in delivering training, but it also means franchisees may need to factor in travel costs and logistical planning depending on where the training is ultimately held. It is important for prospective franchisees to confirm the exact location and duration of the training program with Deck Medic prior to signing the Franchise Agreement to accurately estimate the full cost of training replacement managers.
