We know the biggest gap in technician training isn’t always the wrench turning—it’s the soft skills, the routing, and the real-world pressure of a customer’s home. Usually, that burden falls on you to teach.
Fred’s Appliance Academy has introduced a new Technician Ride-Along Experience. Now, you can add 1, 3, or 5 days of field training to your technician’s enrollment. They will ride with seasoned pros from our sister service company, seeing real service calls, navigating real routes, and handling real customer interactions before they ever return to your truck.
It’s the perfect way to bridge the gap between the classroom and the driveway.
