Our current program is designed for techs that have some mechanical, electrical, and or refrigeration background. There are three phases of the program that can last for various time periods based on an individual’s learning curve and past experience. The trainee rides with EMR certified technical trainers throughout the training period and is taught on the job as well as through discussions in the truck between jobs. There is a matrix of skills and knowledge that must be covered and mastered in order to move through each phase. After completing the three phases the trainee is prepared to go out on the road on their own. There are also in house classes as well as factory training classes that a trainee will attend throughout their career with EMR. Not only is the training encouraged, it is required per their PRD (job description). EMR prides itself on service provided through well trained quality technicians. In order to meet and maintain that quality we continually improve our technicians´ abilities through training and education.

We are currently developing a new comprehensive training program designed for applicants with no mechanical or electrical background or experience. This program will span a three month period and will involve both intense classroom training as well as application in the field. The program will include basic principles of electric, gas, and steam as well as cover important details such as safety, paperwork, and customer service. At the end of the three months the trainee will be prepared to go out on the road on their own. The above mentioned in house classes and factory training will apply to these technicians as well. We are hoping to begin this program in the Spring of ´07.
