What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject may impose reasonable charges for additional or refresher training classes and materials. These charges would apply to both mandatory and optional courses. Dryject will notify franchisees of any additional charges before they or their employees enroll in a course. Franchisees and their employees are responsible for covering all out-of-pocket expenses for any training programs, including transportation, lodging, meals, wages, and employee benefits.
This means that while Dryject provides initial training at no additional charge for the franchisee and one other person, any further training, whether mandatory or optional, may incur charges for the classes themselves as well as all related travel and accommodation costs. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, where franchisors often charge for ongoing training to cover their costs and ensure franchisees stay updated on best practices.
Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical costs associated with these additional training courses, including the frequency of such courses, the estimated charges for classes and materials, and the potential out-of-pocket expenses for travel and accommodation. Understanding these costs will help in budgeting and financial planning for the franchise.
