In the first month you will receive your one-to-one training, help in identifying the most suitable venues and support with your local advertising / promoting the opening of your first classes. Therefore it is usually mid or late month two before you actually start trading.
Training will cover all aspects of running and managing your own classes. Your initial one-to-one training lasts 3 days and includes a visit to two classes. You will then telephone support to open your first few classes. Once you have been running a class for a month you can attend a head office workshop called "Stage 1 - The Psychology Of Slimming".
