Order or Register for Required Training.
You should order the New UnFranchise Owner Training (NUOT) and the the Basic 5 (B5) in your back office. Alternately, you could take these courses in person. Both courses are required during the first 30 days after you register your business. The online courses are only $5.00.
You should also look up the next Executive Coordinator Certification Training and plan to attend. This class is not required until 28 days of completing the full commission cycle for the first time but it is a good idea to take it early if you can.
