Healthsource_Chiropractic Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We will provide to you and your employees that we designate, our initial training program for HealthSource Chiropractic Clinic franchises, which includes self-directed virtual, and live classroom instruction. Self-directed training shall begin no later than 120 days before your Clinic opens for business. You must complete all initial training requirements no later than 30 days prior to opening your Clinic for business. You (if you are an individual) or your Principal Owners as defined in your Franchise Agreement (if you are a legal entity), your general manager (if we agree for you to have a general manager; see Item 15), and your employees that we designate must complete this initial training program to our satisfaction. If the designated individuals have not completed the initial training program within the stated timeframe, we may terminate your franchise or delay the opening of your Clinic until the training program has been satisfactorily completed by the designated individuals.
The initial training program includes virtual, self-directed and in-person instruction on Clinic operations. We plan to be flexible in scheduling training. The initial training program will be offered 4 to 6 times a year. There will be no tuition charge for these training programs for the persons we require to attend (see Item 6). You must pay any wages or compensation owed to all of your personnel who attend the training program. You may not employ any individual who does not complete our initial training program to our satisfaction.
The instructional materials used in the training program in the learning management systems consist of videos, documents, e-learning courses and conference calls related to the Operation of a Clinic.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Healthsource Chiropractic FDD, the initial training program includes virtual, self-directed, and in-person instruction on clinic operations. The instructional materials used in the training program in the learning management systems consist of videos, documents, e-learning courses, and conference calls related to the operation of a clinic.
This means that Healthsource Chiropractic offers a blended approach to training, utilizing online resources and in-person sessions. A prospective franchisee can expect to engage with training materials through videos, documents, e-learning modules, and conference calls, all accessible via a learning management system. This suggests that franchisees and their employees can complete some portions of the training remotely before attending in-person sessions.
While the FDD specifies the types of training (virtual, self-directed, and in-person) and the materials used, it does not specify where the virtual, self-directed, and in-person training takes place. A prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor for more details about where each type of training will be conducted.
