A: Spring semester starts April 3rd, 2023. The training program lasts six months, and attendance is required 7:30am to 4:00pm M-F.

A: There aren’t enough good technicians to hire. We have found that so many technicians were not trained properly or developed bad habits over the years. So, we decided that if we want quality technicians, we have to make them ourselves. We also understand that if we want good people, we have to value their time. 

A: Yes. You will receive the same benefits all our employees receive, including health, dental, and vision insurance with 100% of premium paid for the employee (90% paid for family), PTO accrual, life insurance, tool set, and more.

A: We offer a combined curriculum of NexTech, our own AVH installation modules, and field training. Field training does not begin until further along in the program. We believe using newfound knowledge in an actual setting helps trainees retain the information much better.
