What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Dryer Vent Squad's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, supplemental training fees are charged when the franchisee requests additional training or when Dryer Vent Squad requires it. The fee covers the then-current daily trainer fee, in addition to any travel and accommodation expenses incurred by Dryer Vent Squad. Currently, the rate is $250 per day.
This means that if a franchisee feels they need extra training beyond the initial program, or if Dryer Vent Squad mandates further training to ensure compliance or improve performance, the franchisee will be responsible for these supplemental training costs. This can include situations where new technologies or procedures are introduced, or if the franchisee's performance does not meet Dryer Vent Squad's standards.
Prospective franchisees should consider this potential expense when budgeting for their Dryer Vent Squad franchise. It is important to maintain open communication with Dryer Vent Squad regarding training needs and to proactively address any performance issues to potentially minimize the need for required supplemental training. Understanding the circumstances that might trigger mandatory training and its associated costs is crucial for managing the franchise effectively and avoiding unexpected financial burdens.
