What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not specify the exact number of training hours dedicated to issuing gift cards. However, the FDD does detail the initial training program that new franchisees must complete. This program includes self-study, classroom instruction, and on-the-job training, totaling approximately 35 hours over five to ten days.
While the FDD does not break down the training hours by topic, it does state that franchisees will not create or issue any gift cards/certificates and will only sell gift cards/certificates that have been issued or sponsored by Extreme Art Studio. The initial training program is designed to equip franchisees and their designated managers with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate an Extreme Art Studio Business.
Prospective franchisees should inquire with Extreme Art Studio about the specific topics covered during the initial training and the amount of time dedicated to each. Understanding the training provided on managing gift cards and other promotions is essential for ensuring compliance with Extreme Art Studio's policies and procedures.
