Initial Training
For your first Extreme Art Studio Business, we provide an initial training program that consists of a combination of self-study, classroom training, and on-the-job training that lasts approximately 35 hours for an Extreme Art Studio Business and is conducted over a period of approximately five to ten days ("Initial Training Program"). The Initial Training Program is offered on an as-needed basis. The Initial Training Program is conducted at either our designated training facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota, your Studio, virtually or another location designated by us. For additional Extreme Art Studio Businesses, we may provide you with some additional virtual training at our discretion.
Before you begin operating your Extreme Art Studio Business, you (or your operating owner if you are an entity) and your Designated Manager if you have one, must attend and successfully complete to our satisfaction our Initial Training Program. If you (or your operating owner if you are an entity) or your Designated Manager, if you have one, fail(s) to successfully complete the Initial Training Program to our satisfaction, we may require the failing attendee to attend additional training programs that we designate, at your sole expense, or we may require you to appoint a new operating owner and to send that individual to the next available Initial Training Program, at your sole expense. If the Initial Training Program is not completed to our satisfaction after two attempts, we may terminate the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Training Program may be conducted at the company's designated training facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Alternatively, the training may take place at the franchisee's own studio location, virtually, or at another location designated by Extreme Art Studio.
The Initial Training Program is a crucial component of starting an Extreme Art Studio franchise. It is a 35-hour program that combines self-study, classroom instruction, and on-the-job training, typically completed over five to ten days. Franchisees (or their operating owner) and their designated manager must successfully complete this program to the franchisor's satisfaction before opening their studio.
There is no tuition fee for up to two attendees to attend the Initial Training Program simultaneously. However, Extreme Art Studio does not cover any travel expenses, lodging, meals, ground transportation, or other personal expenses for those attending the training. If additional training is required due to unsatisfactory completion, the franchisee bears the costs for further training sessions or for sending a replacement operating owner. If the training is not completed satisfactorily after two attempts, Extreme Art Studio reserves the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement.
