What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes two to four days of training at their headquarters for each of the 3 key positions: branch/operations manager (or director), director of nursing (DON), and salesperson. This in-class training is supplemented by e-learning through the BrightStar on-line training system. Brightstar Care retains the right to reduce the number of days at their headquarters through the use of e-learning.

The Sales, Clinical, and Operations training tracks are designed specifically for the 3 key roles in the business. The Sales track focuses on the marketing and selling process and increasing skill through interactive role-play. The Clinical track focuses on the clinical administrative, regulatory, and compliance aspects of operating the business, as well as understanding the BrightStar Care clinical programs. The Operations track has a focus on the day-to-day administration of the Agency, including training on business processes and supporting information technology. These 3 key staff are required to attend and successfully complete their respective 3 to 4-day training track sessions within 180 days after signing the Franchise Agreement, or within 90 days if the new hire is a replacement.

New Brightstar Care owners also undergo a New Owner Training track, designed to build knowledge and skills around operations, sales, clinical business processes, and compliance. This track may include two or three sessions lasting 3 to 4 days each, totaling no more than 12 days. These sessions are held at Brightstar Care's headquarters or a nearby training/conference center. New owners may also spend up to a week in the office of an existing owner to gain practical experience. If acquiring an existing agency, the training requirement is two 3 to 4-day sessions (up to 8 days) before the final transfer of assets.
