Learn from real owners of a 40+ year family appliance service business with hands-on field experience. Training on every major appliance. Students travel from across the country — complimentary weekend resort passes at Rumbling Bald. Limited seats.
By the end of 3 weeks you'll have the technical knowledge, hands-on practice, and business tools to start working — or launch your own service route.
Washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, microwaves, and refrigerators — full diagnostic process from symptom to cause.
Trace circuits, test components, identify open and shorted paths with a digital multimeter — the most essential field skill.
Understand refrigerant circuits, diagnosis procedures, and EPA 608 requirements for legal refrigerant handling.
Schedule jobs, write invoices, submit warranty claims, and use Servicer Edge — the field management app built by working techs.
Get authorized to work warranty repairs for major brands — a steady, guaranteed revenue stream with no marketing required.
Graduate with everything you need to hang your own shingle: skills, certifications, tools knowledge, and business systems.
Every unit is split equally between classroom instruction and hands-on lab time. No fluff — everything taught is used in the field.
You do not need any technical background. If you can follow a logical process and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty, you can do this work — and do it well.
Career changers ready to stop trading time for a paycheck
Veterans & first responders with discipline and problem-solving skills
Parents wanting flexible income they control from a service route
Construction, HVAC, or plumbing background looking to expand
Anyone who's ever fixed their own appliances and wants to get paid for it
Laid-off workers who want a skill that can't be outsourced or automated
Chris has diagnosed and repaired every major appliance brand in production over a career spanning decades. He built Servicer Edge from scratch because no existing software understood what a working tech actually needs on a job. At TASA, he teaches diagnosis the way the best technicians think — systematically, without shortcuts.
Joy runs the business side of everything Chris fixes. She teaches students how to turn technical skills into a profitable service operation — scheduling, invoicing, warranty billing, customer communication, and building a referral base that fills your calendar without advertising.
No hidden fees. TASA provides vetted Airbnb-style housing options for $50/night, transportation to and from the housing, food including homecooked breakfasts and lunch, drinks, snacks, popcorn, and ice cream throughout the day, and one weekend day pass to Rumbling Bald Resort.
