FAQ – Australian Licences
No. While a licensee has access to some of our marketing resources, they are entirely responsible for their own marketing and do not participate in the collective marketing program used by Mini Maestros franchisees. Each licensee is independent and determines its own marketing plan and how they operate their business. Each licensee must rely on their own local knowledge to market and promote their Mini Maestros program.
Licences are not available in Victoria because the Mini Maestros franchise network is based in Victoria.
The intellectual property in the program remains the property of Mini Maestros.
Training of licensees and their employee teachers is self-managed by video courses plus online written materials. The training package comprises the following:
- New teacher training (Mini Maestros philosophy, musical skills and classroom management)
- Program training (learning the repertoire)
- Teaching equipment training (what makes up the teaching kit and what different items are used for)
Licensees have ongoing access to these resources plus limited one-on-one support in their first year. Licensees have ongoing support by email for Q&A relating to the teaching curriculum.
As well as the complete Mini Maestros teaching program, licensees have access to training, classroom management, safety and marketing resources.
If you do not renew your licence or it otherwise comes to an end you must stop using the Mini Maestros program, and may not use any part of it any longer. You must remove any reference to it from your business.

No. Licensees cannot use Mini Maestros in their registered business name. They can use it advertising the programs available at their business.

No, a licence cannot be passed to another person.
