Support 3) Training technicians on what’s needed most.
Every successful plumbing or HVAC business owner knows their team of technicians inside and out. You can identify their strengths and understand exactly where they need improvement. Often, identifying what or who needs help can be as clear as looking at the number of follow-up service calls required to repair a single issue.

The second half is the NexTech Academy vocational training programs. It’s a plumbing or HVAC business owners go-to resource to bolster technician skills, knowledge and talents. The right training is the most effective way to improve low service scores, multiple visit repairs and other money-losing situations that result from under-trained technicians in the field.

In fact, the program is built upon holding students accountable for growing their skill sets. Why?
