Answer from 2024 FDD Document

  • 7.2. Continuing Training. You must attend such additional courses, seminars and other training programs as we may reasonably require from time to time, and which will be detailed in the then current Teachers' Manual, in order to maintain your approval to teach the Approved Formats for which you have been approved. Such continuing training may include, but is not limited to, attendance at the Annual Meeting, participation in such Teacher Webinars as may be scheduled by us, peer review of teacher trainees, and involvement in Gokhale® Active. Failure to attend and participate in such continuing training programs may result in suspension of your right to teach the Gokhale System until you have completed our required continuing training and you have been re-approved. If your right to teach has been suspended, and you nonetheless offer to teach, we may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to you. As part of your continuing approval we may request that you submit at reasonable intervals, and you agree to submit to us within such reasonable time as we specify, audiotapes or videotapes of you teaching, and which will be detailed in the then current Teachers' Manual. We may submit such recordings to peer review by other Gokhale Method teachers, and you hereby grant us your consent for such submission.

What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Gokhale Method's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, failing to attend and participate in required continuing training programs may lead to a suspension of your right to teach the Gokhale System. This suspension remains in effect until you complete the necessary continuing training and are re-approved by Gokhale Method.

If your right to teach is suspended due to not completing the continuing training, and you still offer to teach the Gokhale Method, Gokhale Method has the right to terminate the Franchise Agreement immediately upon notifying you.

The continuing training programs may include attendance at the Annual Meeting, participation in Teacher Webinars, peer review of teacher trainees, and involvement in Gokhale® Active. Gokhale Method may also request that you submit audiotapes or videotapes of you teaching at reasonable intervals for peer review by other Gokhale Method teachers.
