What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'IT HELP Desk' classroom training lasts for 0.5 hours. This training is part of the overall training program for new franchisees and their staff. The training may take place at Brightstar Care's headquarters in Bannockburn, IL, at another designated location, or via e-learning.
This brief training session suggests that the IT Help Desk processes are relatively straightforward or that more in-depth support is provided through other channels. Franchisees should confirm what the training covers and what ongoing IT support is available.
Prospective Brightstar Care franchisees should consider the location and format of the training when planning their initial setup and budget. While some training elements can be completed online, attending in-person sessions may incur travel and accommodation costs.
