How to Conduct Yourself
We take for granted the process of being a technician. Yes, fixing the appliance is your immediate priority but you are also servicing a person. To maintain a long, successful career, you need to know how to handle yourself in a customer’s home. Let us share with you what we have learned over the years so you don’t make the same mistakes.
Learning Environment
Once you are on our campus, everything is within walking distance. You will eat, breath, sleep appliance repair while you are here. Housing is included with every course.
Utilize the Tools Available
Not just the hand tools you will need for the repair, but the technology that’s available. We will show you how to stay organized and safe online while also showing you how to find and reference technical material using just your smartphone. There is no magic tablet with all the answers, but with a little practice, you will be able to use the power of the internet to your advantage.
How to Lookup Parts
We encourage our students to use illustrated part lookups while participating in our hands-on lab sessions. This is a skill that every technician needs to operate in the field to ensure they are going to order the right part for the customer.
Certifications
If you pass the course, you will receive a certification that recognizes this accomplishment.
By the end of the course, you will have had the opportunity to earn your EPA 608 Type-I certification. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to take the ASF certification when they choose. Earning these certifications is a opportunity to improve your resume when looking for a job.
