What is the dependency between completing the Initial Training and teaching the Gokhale System?

According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must complete the Initial Training program to become qualified to teach the Gokhale System. The Initial Training consists of a Teacher Training Immersion Week, along with follow-up training and practice. To be approved to teach, a franchisee must attend and successfully complete the Initial Training to Gokhale Method's satisfaction, pass all evaluations, and receive formal approval.

If a franchisee does not complete all training and fails to qualify to teach within six months of attending the Teacher Training Immersion Week, Gokhale Method has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement after providing 30 days' notice, assuming the franchisee does not rectify the situation. This underscores the importance of successfully completing the training program within the specified timeframe to maintain the franchise rights.

Furthermore, even after completing the initial training, Gokhale Method franchisees must continue their education to maintain their approval to teach. This includes attending additional courses, seminars, and other training programs as reasonably required by Gokhale Method. Failure to participate in continuing training programs may result in suspension of the franchisee's right to teach the Gokhale System until the required training is completed and re-approval is granted. If a franchisee teaches while suspended, Gokhale Method may terminate the Franchise Agreement immediately.
