On-Site Training Program
For your first Extreme Art Studio Business, we provide launch assistance immediately prior to your grand opening and the day of your grand opening at your Studio location for up to three days ("On-Site Training Program"). There is no tuition or fee for the On-Site Training Program.
Additional On-Site Assistance
For your first Extreme Art Studio Business, we also provide up to two additional days of additional on-site assistance ("Additional On-Site Assistance"). The Additional On-Site Assistance will take place at the time we designate, which is approximately six months after your Studio's grand opening.
Ongoing Training
If you request, or if we determine that it is appropriate or necessary, in our sole discretion, whether as a result of observation or otherwise during the operation of your Extreme Art Studio Business, we can require that you (or, if you are not an individual, then a managing member, partner, or officer of you designated by you to participate personally in the Extreme Art Studio Business) and/or any of your managers, attend and successfully complete additional training, including online computer training designated by us. You will be charged our then-current costs (currently $200 per person per day) for any additional training or assistance. You will be responsible for all of the travel and living expenses that we incur if we send a representative to provide on-site training or assistance. You will be responsible for your travel expenses and living expenses, and those of your representatives, if such additional training or assistance is not provided on-site at your Extreme Art Studio Business. You and your operating owner, if applicable, must attend mandatory conferences at locations that we designate, and you must pay any conference fees and travel expenses. You will pay all required conference fees.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, Extreme Art Studio does conduct on-site evaluations of its franchisees. As part of the opening process for a new Extreme Art Studio franchise, the franchisor provides on-site training for up to three days prior to and during the grand opening. This on-site training is provided for the franchisee's first Extreme Art Studio Business.
Additionally, Extreme Art Studio provides up to two days of on-site assistance approximately six months after the studio's grand opening. This allows the franchisor to observe the operations after the initial opening phase and provide further guidance.
Extreme Art Studio also states that if they determine it is appropriate or necessary, they can require the franchisee or their managers to attend additional training as a result of observation during the operation of the Extreme Art Studio Business. The franchisee will be responsible for the costs of this additional training, as well as travel and living expenses if the training is provided on-site.
