What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Marketing: Platforms training is conducted either at Bft's headquarters in Irvine, CA, or at a location to complete the training virtually. This training is part of the Initial Training Program Owner/Operator Training Module and involves 2 hours of classroom training with no on-the-job training.
This means that prospective Bft franchisees or their operators will need to travel to Irvine, CA, or have access to a virtual training setup to complete this specific module. The flexibility of virtual training provides convenience, reducing travel costs for some franchisees.
The training covers essential marketing platform knowledge, which is crucial for franchisees to effectively promote their studios. The fact that it's a classroom-based module suggests a theoretical approach, focusing on understanding the platforms rather than hands-on application. Franchisees should confirm the virtual training platform's compatibility and ensure they have a stable internet connection for uninterrupted training.
