What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, participation in refresher training is mandatory if Best Brains requires it. Specifically, Best Brains may require franchisees to participate in up to five days per calendar year of refresher training related to the operations and marketing of the franchised business.
The refresher training's location will be chosen by Best Brains and may be electronic. Currently, Best Brains does not charge a fee for this training. However, franchisees are responsible for covering all travel and living expenses to attend the training.
This means that as a Best Brains franchisee, you need to be prepared to potentially travel to a location chosen by the company for up to five days each year for additional training. While there's no training fee, you will have to budget for travel and accommodation costs. The fact that the training can also be electronic may reduce these costs, but this is at the discretion of Best Brains.
