Instructor & Academy
Built by working technicians and independent shop owners.
Curriculum authors still run their own appliance repair routes, so every lesson comes from real tickets—not theory. Expect technician-first workflows, field documentation habits, and private-owner business context without name-dropping any single company.

The Pattern
AI replaces work that is repetitive, predictable, screen-based, and rule driven.
The Opportunity
Hands-on trades, in-field diagnostics, physical repair work, and solving real-world problems partner with AI instead of getting replaced.
After graduation
Choose your lane: hire-on with established crews or launch your own shop.
Join a team
Apply to national + regional service brands
We’ll help you package your portfolio for employers like Sears Home Services, American Home Shield partners, and independent appliance companies that hire graduates straight from the academy.
Run your own crew
Launch or bolt onto your business
Use the curriculum, AI assistant, and job-playbooks to spin up your own appliance repair company or add a new revenue stream to your existing trade. We’ll share pricing templates, tool lists, and ops checklists so you start fast.
Ask the technician AI
Remote instructor + AI agent, all in one place.
Students can ping the assistant during modules, simulations, or business-owner workshops and get curated guidance without leaving the page. Everything runs through the same agent the technician app will use in the field.
Technician AI assistant
Ask questions about modules, diagnostics, or running your own crew.
Try asking “How do I prep for Week 1 safety drills?” or “What’s the next step after a failed continuity test?”
