What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Graduation & Wrap-Up' classroom training session is 0.5 hours. This session may include independent learning activities that occur outside the formal classroom. The training typically takes place in Bannockburn, IL, or any other location Brightstar Care may designate, or via e-learning.
This means that as a new Brightstar Care franchisee, you will spend a short amount of time, specifically half an hour, in a formal classroom setting for the 'Graduation & Wrap-Up' session. However, it's important to note that this particular training segment might also involve some self-directed learning tasks that you'll need to complete outside of the scheduled classroom time.
Given the potential for independent learning activities, prospective franchisees should inquire with Brightstar Care about the nature and time commitment of these activities to effectively plan their training schedule. Understanding the blend of classroom and independent work will help in managing time and resources during the initial training period.
