What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when franchisees attend in-person training in Dallas, Texas, or at an Aerus Business that Aerus designates, they can bring up to a total of three individuals to the training. This allowance provides the franchisee with the opportunity to train not only themselves but also key staff members, such as a general manager or sales team lead, ensuring that multiple members of the team are aligned with Aerus's operational standards and business practices from the outset. This can be particularly beneficial for new franchisees who may need to quickly onboard a team.
Aerus also offers certain aspects of the Management and Business Administration (MBA) training online through their interactive training website or remotely through telephone or web conference. When training is conducted remotely, there is no limit to the number of employees that may attend. This provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative for training larger teams or for ongoing professional development.
It is important to note that while Aerus does not charge tuition or impose a fee for training-related materials in connection with their initial training programs, the franchisee is responsible for all training-related expenses incurred by all persons who attend training. These expenses include costs of travel, lodging, local transportation to and from the training site, meals, and wages. Therefore, franchisees should factor in these additional costs when planning for training, especially if they intend to bring the maximum number of individuals allowed for in-person training.
