What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the Gokhale Method provides 5 hours of classroom training for Gokhale® Consultation training. However, the FDD states that there are no hours of on-the-job training for Gokhale® Consultation training. This training takes place at the location of Immersion Week Course.
Prospective franchisees should note that while there is no formal on-the-job training for Gokhale® Consultation, the initial training program includes a practical component. Franchisees must teach the full six-lesson Gokhale Foundations course in a one-on-one setting to two separate practice students. This hands-on experience, along with the preparation and review of teaching videos, serves as a form of practical application and assessment of their teaching skills.
Furthermore, to become qualified to teach, franchisees must prepare at least six videos in which they record themselves teaching each of the six separate Gokhale Foundations lessons, accompanied by self-critiques of each lesson. These recordings are reviewed by peers, and the franchisee is required to view recordings submitted by other trainees and evaluate them. Each lesson video must be approved before the franchisee can become qualified to teach. This peer review and approval process adds another layer of practical training and quality control to the Gokhale Method training program.
