Unless the Initial Franchise Fee was waived under Section 4.1, immediately before the Operating Date, Franchisor will provide virtual training to two management representatives of Franchisee to educate, familiarize and acquaint Franchisee with the business of operating the Franchised Business. Franchisee must successfully complete the initial training program which includes virtual classroom and practical instruction regarding the technical aspects of operating the Franchised Business, basic business operating procedures, basic sales and marketing techniques and other topics selected by Franchisor from time to time ("Initial Training Program"). In addition, Franchisee must participate in and successfully complete Franchisor's "Four Week Pre-Training Program" and "Twelve Week Post-Training/Mentor Program" (collectively, with the Initial Training Program, "Training Programs") which reinforce and supplement the Initial Training Program.
Franchisor will determine the duration of the Training Programs. The Franchisee or the Manager must complete the Initial Training Program before the Operating Date. Before beginning the Training Programs, if Franchisee is not the Manager, the Manager must deliver to Franchisor a signed confidentiality agreement in the form from time-to-time included in the Manuals.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Bath Tune Up Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor determines the duration of the Training Programs. The franchisee or the manager must complete the Initial Training Program before the Operating Date. In addition, the franchisee must participate in and successfully complete Franchisor's "Four Week Pre-Training Program" and "Twelve Week Post-Training/Mentor Program" which reinforce and supplement the Initial Training Program.
While the FDD mentions a "Four Week Pre-Training Program" and a "Twelve Week Post-Training/Mentor Program", it does not specify the duration of Phase 2, known as BTUniversity.
A prospective franchisee should ask Bath Tune Up for clarification on the length of BTUniversity and what the training will entail.
