Most people come in for the first one and finish all four, usually in that order.
They stay open to you, so when you hire somebody two years from now, you send them
through the same training instead of teaching it yourself.
Ultrasonic blind cleaning
The core course. Every blind type and every material, what solution goes with
what, how long it sits in the tank, how you dry verticals and honeycombs
without water spotting, and what to do when something arrives already damaged.
Marketing
How to actually get the work. Includes full lessons on setting up dry cleaners
as drop-off centers and on working alongside janitorial companies instead of
against them — the two plays that have built more of these businesses
than anything else we teach.
Shop set-up
Where the machine goes, where the drying goes, how the water and the power get
there, and how blinds move through the space without crossing paths. Layout is
the difference between forty blinds a day and fifteen.
Repair
One out of every six blinds that comes to you needs a repair. If you can only
clean, you hand that money back. Restringing, ladder replacement, headrail
work, and what to charge for it.
