What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, Dryject provides initial training at no additional charge for the Franchise Owner and one additional person.

Dryject also conducts an on-site opening training program for the franchisee's initial employees, not to exceed three days, at the franchisee's location prior to opening the franchised business.

Dryject may conduct the on-site opening training program over two separate periods totaling three days.

Dryject may also permit the franchisee to send two additional people to the initial training class on a space-available basis. The initial franchise management-training program is conducted at Dryject's affiliate's office in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, or at another location selected by them. The first phase of the initial franchise management-training program lasts up to four business days and must be completed approximately 1 week prior to commencing operation of the franchised business.
