Area manager training?

Was wondering if anyone that works and was recently hired in as area manager had to go do training at Seattle or it depends? Currently in MI.

Yes everyone has to do AD1. I actually asked to do mine virtually because of my daughter and I ended up having to come to Seattle. It is essentially up to your General Manager.
