What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the BootCamp Training program includes hands-on training. Specifically, Day 1 of the BootCamp Training involves "Hands-on Training using all equipment and methods associated with Boulder Designs Technical Training Review". Days 2 and 3 also include "Hands on Training in our Facility Technical Training Review".
This hands-on approach is a significant benefit for new Boulder Designs franchisees. It allows them to gain practical experience with the equipment and techniques necessary to create and install Boulder Designs products. This direct engagement can help franchisees develop confidence and competence more quickly than relying solely on theoretical instruction.
The BootCamp Training Guide is 32 pages long and is separate from the other manuals provided by Boulder Designs. The training covers not only technical aspects but also includes an introduction to sales, lead generation, and trade shows, providing a well-rounded foundation for operating a Boulder Designs franchise.
