Know the difference

Teacher training vs. franchise — which one is for you?

Many people confuse the two. They are different products for different goals. Here is exactly what each includes — and what it doesn’t.

Best forGraduates, homemakers & tutors who want to teach and earnEntrepreneurs who want to build their own education business
The one rule to remember: a teacher certificate qualifies you to teach. It does not license you to open or operate your own Mastermind Abacus centre, or to use Mastermind’s brand, books, or LMS with your own students. Centre ownership = franchise. If your real goal is your own abacus classes, start here instead — your training will be included free.

For one year after your training, you get a real head start on owning a Mastermind centre in your territory:

  • Fee adjusted: if you take a franchise within one year, your entire ₹35,000 training fee is adjusted against the applicable franchise fee.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Can I open my own abacus centre after completing teacher training?expand_more
No. Teacher certification qualifies you to teach abacus — it does not include the Mastermind brand, curriculum licence, or the right to open a Mastermind centre. To run your own centre, you need a Mastermind franchise, which includes complete teacher training free of cost.
How much does the teacher training cost, and are there hidden charges?expand_more
The program fee is ₹35,000, all-inclusive: live training, certification assessment, and your certificate. There are no hidden charges.
Is the training online? What do I need?expand_more
Yes — training is conducted live online by a Mastermind Master Trainer, so you can join from any city. You need a laptop or desktop with a stable internet connection. Sessions are interactive; you practise with the trainer, not with recorded videos.
I have no maths or teaching background. Can I still do this?expand_more
Yes. Any graduate with good communication skills can join. The methodology is taught from zero, and the abacus itself makes arithmetic visual and simple. Many of our best teachers are homemakers who restarted their careers with this certification.
How much can I earn after certification?expand_more
Independent abacus tutors in India typically charge ₹500–₹1,500 per student per month depending on the city. Teaching just 12 students at ₹1,000/month, most certified teachers recover the full program fee in about 3 to 4 months. Your earnings depend on your city, batch size, and effort.
Is the certificate recognised?expand_more
You receive the Mastermind Certified Abacus Teacher certificate — issued by Mastermind Abacus, an abacus education brand operating across 17 countries. It certifies that you have completed and passed the full Mastermind teaching methodology assessment.
What is the difference between teacher training and a franchise?expand_more
Training (₹35,000) is a course: you learn to teach and get certified. A franchise is a business: brand rights, curriculum, books, LMS, marketing support, and free teacher training — everything needed to open and run your own Mastermind centre.
If I do the training now and want a franchise later, is my fee wasted?expand_more
No — the opposite. For one year after training: take a franchise and your full ₹35,000 is adjusted against the franchise fee, and any franchise inquiry for your area comes to you first, with first priority.
