How to train a tech so the work looks like yours

May 28, 2026 · 8 min read

You cannot clone yourself, but you can write down what you do. That is all a training program really is.

Record the job, not the theory

Film yourself doing the five jobs you run most. Ten minutes each, phone on a bucket. That is your first course.

One checklist per job type

What to bring, what to check, what to photograph, what to say to the customer. Checklists beat memory, especially at 6am.

Ride along, then step back

Watch two, help on two, supervise two, then let them run it. Most callbacks come from skipping that last step.

Make the standard visible

Photos of good work and bad work, side by side. People rise to a standard they can actually see.
