Who receives free initial pre-opening training for a Deck Medic franchise?

According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial pre-opening training is provided at no additional cost for the franchisee, their Managing Owner, and one designated manager. This means that Deck Medic covers the cost of the training program itself for these individuals. However, if additional individuals are authorized to attend the training, a fee applies.

Specifically, the cost for additional employee initial training is the then-current training fee, which is currently $600 per person per day. This fee is invoiced and must be paid prior to the training. The franchisee is also responsible for all fees, wages, and expenses associated with the attendance of any employee at the training, including travel and accommodations.

This policy encourages franchisees to carefully select who attends the initial training, as sending additional personnel can significantly increase costs. It also highlights the importance of the Managing Owner and designated manager fully participating in and understanding the initial training, as they will be responsible for implementing the Deck Medic system within their franchise.
