What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engel & Volkers' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fee for the Support Path Training (SPT) is $298 per person. This training is mandatory for at least one staff member working at the franchised business who supports sales advisors. Engel & Volkers may deliver the SPT training at a location in the United States or Canada, or via a virtual web-based training platform.
The FDD also mentions that the highest rate for SPT is $298 per person, assuming a minimum of 4 attendees if conducted via a virtual web-based training platform. This suggests that the cost remains consistent regardless of whether the training is in-person or virtual, provided the minimum attendee requirement is met for virtual sessions.
Prospective franchisees should factor this cost into their initial investment, considering the number of staff members who will require this training. It's also important to note that franchisees are responsible for the expenses of their personnel attending any training classes, including per diem salaries, travel, lodging, meals, transportation, and other incidental expenses, as detailed in Items 5 and 11 of the FDD.
