According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may incur costs for additional training. The cost for additional training is $100 to $200 per day per attendee for group training programs. This cost does not include travel expenses to Bannockburn, IL, or a regional training location.
Brightstar Care also offers advanced training at a cost of $300 to $400 per day per attendee. On-site training is available on a resource-available basis at a cost of $500 to $600 per day per trainer, plus the cost of room, board, and travel for each trainer.
The FDD notes that Brightstar Care reserves the right to increase training fees on an as-needed basis to reflect increased costs, but no higher than $600 per day per trainer. Corporate office and/or regional training might be required for system-wide rollout or for locations whose metrics are below top quartile performance.
