What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, payment for supplemental training is due 'on demand.' If a franchisee requests or Deck Medic requires additional training, the franchisee must pay Deck Medic's current trainer fee, which is currently $600 per day, plus any applicable expenses related to travel and accommodations.
This means that a Deck Medic franchisee should be prepared to pay for supplemental training when the need arises, whether initiated by the franchisee or required by Deck Medic. The costs can include not only the daily trainer rate but also any travel and accommodation expenses incurred by Deck Medic.
It is important for a prospective Deck Medic franchisee to factor in the potential costs of supplemental training when budgeting for their franchise. They should also clarify with Deck Medic under what circumstances supplemental training might be required and how those costs are determined.
