Training Programs (§3.5)
Our initial training program covers all aspects of operating a jewelry repair and retail sales business using our System. Your Franchise Operator and any initial manager you hire must successfully complete initial training to our satisfaction before your Service Center opens. Other owners may attend initial training but it is not required.
Initial training includes: (a) 3 to 7 days of franchise operations and management training conducted at one of our designated training centers, which currently consist of certain franchised Fast-Fix Service Centers, 4 to 6 weeks before your opening date; and (b) 2 to 3 days of onsite training conducted at your Service Center around the time it opens. Onsite training is an informal program where we monitor your operations and assist you with the opening of your Service Center.
The format for training may include lectures, interactive role playing, online training modules, conference calls and/or webinars. We reserve the right to conduct all (or any portion) of the training program virtually. The training materials include the Manual. We do not charge for training materials. Training is conducted in the English language. We can modify the training program at our discretion based on our subjective assessment of the skills, abilities and prior experience of your Franchise Operator and/or other trainees. Currently, we intend to offer initial training on an "as needed" basis. There are no regularly scheduled initial training sessions. Initial training currently covers the following topics:
