What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buildingstars's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Technician Program includes several topics that do not have any on-the-job training hours. These topics are Policies and Procedures, Supplies and Equipment, Customer Service, and Safety. Each of these subjects includes classroom training at the Regional Office, with Policies and Procedures and Supplies and Equipment each taking .5 hours, and Customer Service and Safety each taking .5 hours as well.
For a prospective Buildingstars franchisee, this means that while they will receive classroom instruction on these key areas, they will not have any supervised practical experience as part of the initial training. This may require franchisees to seek additional support or guidance as they begin to implement these procedures in their daily operations.
It's important to note that the FDD specifies that the time periods and aspects of the training program are subject to change. Therefore, franchisees should confirm the current training schedule and content with Buildingstars prior to commencing their training to ensure they are fully prepared.
