What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deck Medic's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor can designate supplemental training programs. The document states that a franchisee can be terminated for failing to complete supplemental training programs to Deck Medic's reasonable satisfaction.
This means that while the document does not explicitly address whether Deck Medic can reject a franchisee's request for supplemental training, it does emphasize Deck Medic's authority to designate and require completion of such programs. The FDD indicates that failure to complete supplemental training to the franchisor's satisfaction can lead to termination of the franchise agreement.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Deck Medic under what circumstances supplemental training may be required, how the content and format of such training are determined, and what recourse a franchisee has if they believe the franchisor's expectations are unreasonable. Understanding the specific criteria for satisfactory completion of training programs is crucial for avoiding potential disputes and ensuring compliance with the franchise agreement.
