According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all associates must complete Administrative Training within 14 days of their hire date. This training is delivered via a web-based format and is estimated to take an average of 0.5 to 1.0 hours to complete. The training covers administrative procedures relevant to their roles, whether they are hourly associates, management-level associates, or general managers.
Delta Hotels By Marriott does not charge any additional fees for Administrative Training, assuming it is delivered virtually. This suggests that the cost of the training is included in the overall franchise fees or is absorbed by the franchisor as part of their support system. This detail is beneficial for prospective franchisees as it clarifies the financial obligations related to associate training.
In addition to Administrative Training, Delta Hotels By Marriott provides other training programs for associates, including Brand & Service Training, Ethics + Integrity Training, Functional Operations Training, Electronic Systems Training, Leadership Development Training, and Loyalty Training. These various training programs have different completion timeframes, costs, and are role-dependent.
