Are Dryject training materials and aids provided for free?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, training materials and aids are not provided for free. The FDD states that any training materials and aids made by Dryject will be made available to the franchisee for a fee equal to Dryject's cost. This means that franchisees will have to purchase these materials from Dryject to properly train themselves and their employees.

This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors often charge for training materials to recoup their costs of development and production. However, it is important for prospective Dryject franchisees to factor in these costs when evaluating the overall investment required to start and operate a franchise. Franchisees should inquire about the specific types of training materials available, their costs, and whether there are any alternative sources for obtaining similar materials.

In addition to the cost of training materials, the Dryject FDD also mentions a Replacement Manual Fee of $200.00 for a replacement copy of the Operations Manual. This fee is due upon request, so franchisees should take care to properly maintain their Operations Manual to avoid incurring this expense. The Operations Manual contains mandatory and suggested specifications, policies, methods, standards, operating procedures and requirements prescribed from time to time by Dryject and information relative to other obligations of a franchisee, and to the operation of a Franchised Business.
