What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, Extreme Art Studio offers an initial training program at no tuition or fee for up to two attendees for your first Extreme Art Studio Business, provided they attend training simultaneously. This training includes self-study, classroom instruction, and on-the-job experience, totaling about 35 hours over five to ten days. The training occurs either at their facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota, virtually, at your studio, or another location they designate.
However, franchisees are responsible for all travel, lodging, meals, ground transportation, and other personal expenses related to attending the Initial Training Program. If additional people beyond the initial two attendees need training, Extreme Art Studio charges a fee of $200 per day per additional person.
If the franchisee (or operating owner) or the Designated Manager fails to complete the Initial Training Program satisfactorily, Extreme Art Studio may require additional training at the franchisee's sole expense. Failure to complete the program after two attempts may lead to the termination of the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, Extreme Art Studio provides on-site training for up to three days prior to and during the grand opening of the first Extreme Art Studio Business at no cost.
