What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, teacher webinars are a form of continuing training that the Gokhale Method provides to franchisees. After completing the initial training, which includes an Immersion Week and other requirements, franchisees must participate in teacher webinars. The FDD also mentions that additional refresher courses are required, including attendance at the Annual Meeting (or an approved alternative continuing education program) and participating in teacher webinars.
These webinars are part of Gokhale Method's ongoing obligations to franchisees during the operation of their franchised business. The franchisor also provides ongoing advice, as they deem necessary, concerning the operation of the franchised business and the Gokhale System, and may inspect the franchised business at their discretion.
Franchisees should note that while the FDD specifies that teacher webinars are required, it does not detail the specific content, frequency, or format of these webinars. As such, prospective franchisees should inquire with Gokhale Method about the typical structure and topics covered in these webinars to understand the ongoing training and support provided.
