What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Brain Balance Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to attend and pay for Advanced Training up to two times per year. This training includes ongoing sessions through webinars, courses within the Brain Balance Training Site, and workshops. These sessions may cover topics such as enrollment enhancement, sensory motor and academic administration, and marketing. The training sessions can last between one and five days.
Attendance at these Advanced Training sessions is mandatory for either the Center Director or the Program Director when offered by Brain Balance. The franchisee is responsible for covering the travel costs of their employees and personnel attending the training.
In addition to the regularly scheduled Advanced Training, Brain Balance franchisees may be required to attend and pay for additional training or consultation services under specific circumstances. These circumstances include if the franchisee requests it, if Brain Balance requires it because the franchisee has failed to master the principles and objectives of the licensed technology, if system development results in new principles or protocols, or if the franchisee replaces either the Center Director or Program Director. These additional consultation services are charged at a half-day rate of $500 or a full-day rate of $1,000, in addition to airfare, lodging, and travel expenses. As an alternative, the franchisee can send a new Center Director or Program Director to the next regularly scheduled Initial Training session at a cost of $300.
