Handel's Ice Cream provides comprehensive training to franchisees, their operating managers, and designated employees as part of its franchise model. The training includes an initial program lasting approximately 10-14 days, conducted at their headquarters or a designated training location.
This program combines personal instruction and on-the-job training, focusing on operational methods and standards.
Managers are also required to complete additional managerial training to ensure they meet Handel's operational standards. Franchisees must attend periodic ongoing training programs and may be charged fees for additional training courses.
