Initial Training Program Franchisees must complete an initial training program before beginning operations. This program is designed to teach them the technical, operational, and administrative aspects of running a Dryer Vent Wizard business.
Field Training In addition to classroom sessions, franchisees receive field training. This involves practical, hands-on experience in providing the services the franchise offers, ensuring that new owners are comfortable with the work they will be doing.
Ongoing Training and Support Dryer Vent Wizard also provides continuing education opportunities and updates through various channels. These might include webinars, regional meetings, or system-wide conferences that allow franchisees to stay current with best practices and system standards.
