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.
Classroom Training: Following the online segment, franchisees participate in a 39–47-hour classroom training session. 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.
Franchisees of Pirtek are granted the right to operate their business within a designated territory, but this territory is not exclusive.
