Tools you need to succeed as a ServiceMaster Restore® franchise
Our franchise owners come from a variety of professional backgrounds, including those who are new to the restoration industry. ServiceMaster Restore Academy provides hands-on instruction and practical training to help you understand the services your business will offer and how to manage daily operations.
Your training begins with a week of pre-academy coursework, followed by two weeks of in-person instruction at our Memphis facility. During Academy, you'll learn the fundamentals of running a business, including sales, marketing, accounting, and hiring. You'll also receive technical training in water and fire damage restoration, mold remediation, packout procedures, and structural cleaning.
In addition to the Academy, you'll complete training on our franchise operating system and other software used to manage your business. You'll also be required to obtain applicable Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) certifications. Training timelines may vary based on your experience and the requirements you need to complete.
