Pre-Training: Franchisees begin with a two-week online pre-training program. This self-paced module ensures they grasp foundational concepts before advancing to more detailed sessions.

Held at Pirtek's support center in Rockledge, Florida, or another specified location, this training covers topics such as leadership, management, marketing strategies, and operational procedures.

In-Center "Field" Training: To provide hands-on experience, franchisees undergo a one-week in-center "field" training program. Conducted at an operational Pirtek Service Center, this training offers a real-world understanding of the business's day-to-day operations.
