What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, to become an approved teacher, a franchisee must attend and successfully complete the Initial Training to the franchisor's satisfaction, pass all evaluations, and be formally approved by them to teach. The Initial Training consists of a Teacher Training Immersion Week in addition to follow-up training and practice to prepare the franchisee to teach the Gokhale System to groups and individuals.

If a prospective Gokhale Method franchisee does not complete all training and has not qualified to teach within six months of attending the Teacher Training Immersion Week, Gokhale Method may terminate the Franchise Agreement. Gokhale Method will provide 30 days' notice to the franchisee, allowing an opportunity to rectify the situation. Failure to do so may result in termination of the agreement.

This requirement highlights the importance of thorough preparation and dedication during the initial training phase. Franchisees should be prepared to invest the necessary time and effort to meet Gokhale Method's standards within the given timeframe to avoid potential termination of their agreement. This also means that the franchisee should be prepared to cover costs of transportation, lodging, and meals while attending the Immersion Week.
