How many days are dedicated to FAQ's training for a Fly To Fit franchise?
Fly_To_Fit Franchise · 2024 FDDAnswer from 2024 FDD Document
Training classes will be scheduled in accordance with the needs of new franchisees. We anticipate holding training classes in advance of the opening of the franchisee's location, doing so remotely, at a corporate location, and at the franchisee's location once sufficient build-out has been completed and close to being open, as elaborated on in the additional questions below. This may change as we start to bring on more franchisees.
The instruction materials consist primarily of our Onboarding Checklist which contains links organized by section for all applicable written procedures, training videos, learning checks referred to as Knowledge Reviews (automatically graded with correct answers provided, with a structure in place requiring successful completion via a minimum score threshold), and a shadowing/coaching checklist and approval process all required to successfully and fully complete the necessary training. Additional instructional material will be provided consisting of additional similar training (additional procedures, additional video training, additional checklists, etc.) for "higher-level" functions required of the franchisee and/or the individual acting as the owner/operator and/or manager of the franchisee.
Training classes will be led by the franchisor(s) and/or its delegate(s), such as a corporateemployed, tenured individual who has been delegated to lead some or all aspects of training (i.e. a manager / assistant manager / senior employee who works at a corporate (franchisor) location). Some aspects of training classes will be self-directed and led by the franchisee themselves as they follow the training structure in place which would include video training and the aforementioned instructional materials created by the franchisor/corporate (so in that sense, it is still being led by the franchisor/corporate/its delegate(s), just done remotely and/or by pre-recorded materials listed in the Onboarding/Training structure).
The instructor, of the franchisor(s) have experience dating back to the establishment of corporate. Franchisor/corporate delegate(s) may have various lengths of experience depending on the individual delegate, but they would typically have minimally one year of experience, if not more, and have had successfully completed both their own training and facilitation of others' training in the past; the delegate(s) would typically be in a management role at a corporate location or be a "senior," tenured employee if not in a formal management position.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Fly To Fit Franchise Disclosure Document does not specify the exact number of days dedicated to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) training. Item 11 provides details on the overall training program, but it does not break down the training schedule by topic or module. The training program includes an Onboarding Checklist with links to procedures, training videos, Knowledge Reviews, and a shadowing/coaching checklist.
While the FDD mentions the components of the training, it does not offer a detailed breakdown of the time allocated to each subject. The training classes are scheduled based on the needs of new franchisees and may be conducted remotely, at a corporate location, or at the franchisee's location. The instructors may be the franchisors or their delegates, who have experience dating back to the establishment of the corporate entity.
Prospective franchisees should inquire directly with Fly To Fit about the training schedule and the time allocated to specific topics such as FAQs. Understanding the time commitment for each training module will help franchisees plan their pre-opening activities and ensure they are adequately prepared to operate their Fly To Fit franchise.
