Scott Brown
Dean of Appliance Repair
(aka Samurai Appliance Repair Man)
Since 1996, I’ve run my own appliance repair business while helping other techs succeed through our tech support community, Appliantology.org, and over at my YouTube Channel. I created the first Core course in 2014 and have been teaching ever since.

Susan Brown
Dean of Students & Business Liaison
(aka Mrs. Samurai)
I’ve been Scott’s partner on all of his appliance repair businesses since the beginning. I handle all inquiries and manage enrollments and tuition payments. I also help to develop course content and assist students in the Ask the Teacher Forums.

Sam Brown
Professor of Appliance Repair Mastery
(aka Son of Samurai)
I’ve been repairing appliances beside my dad since I was a kid and have sponged up every ounce of his appliance repair mastery. I developed content for the Advanced courses, I teach and support students, and I’m the admin over at Appliantology.org.

Answers to Your Most-Asked Questions
How does online appliance repair training work?
Whether you need a more flexible way to train around your many responsibilities or a more affordable way to train on a tight budget (or both!), online appliance repair training has 6 key benefits compared to in-person training. The course is self-paced, meaning you can train wherever and whenever you want. Each course consists of several modules organized around a specific subject, and each module consists of several units or lessons, each with a quiz you must conquer to advance to the next unit or module. Click here to learn more about how online training works.
What about hands-on appliance repair training?
In order to be a skilled, profitable tech, you need to pair thorough brains-on training (which is what we offer) with some hands-on practice. Your brain tells your hands what to do, not the other way around, but we recognize that practice makes perfect. Click here to read how our students get that hands-on practice. And if you’re still not convinced that online training works, take a look through our reviews
How much does Advanced Oven and Range Repair Training cost?
Tuition for Advanced Oven and Range Repair Training is $425, the same as all of our Advanced Courses. You can save money on the cost of the course by enrolling in the Technician’s Bundle (save $405), the Business Bundle (save $455), or—if you already enrolled in Core Appliance Repair Training—our Advanced Bundle (save $155).
What if I need more help on a lesson?
Simple. We are here to help with ANY question you have. Submit your questions to the Ask the Teacher Forum in the Advanced Oven and Range Repair module (or any module you’re working on) and Team Samurai will answer your question. We will give you the training, coaching and mentoring you need to become a master appliance tech yourself.
How long does Advanced Oven and Range Repair Training take to complete?
Because Advanced Oven and Range Repair Training is self-paced, the time to complete it varies with each student. In our experience, students require about 25-35 hours to complete the course. If you work at a steady pace, doing at least 4-6 lessons per week, you can complete the course in 1 month. We don’t recommend rushing through the training, because we want you to remember everything you learn and be able to apply it on the job.
How long do I have to complete Advanced Oven and Range Repair Training?
You can take as much time as you need to finish the training. Your initial access period to the course lasts one year if you enroll in a single course and two years if you enroll in a bundle. If you need access beyond that, we charge a very small monthly renewal fee. So if you need to, take your time with the training.
If I already have appliance repair experience, can I skip your Core course and start with Advanced Oven and Range Repair?
Advanced Oven and Range Repair Training requires a strong background in electrical troubleshooting and reading schematics, both of which are taught in Core Appliance Repair Training. We strongly encourage all students—novices and pros—to start there, though it is not required. If you’re not sure whether you should start with Core, take our You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know quiz.

Quiz: Do you REALLY know your stuff?
If you’re thinking to yourself, “I’ve been in this business for twenty years, I don’t need to take a course on the basics,” why not put your skills to the test? If you ace our You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know quiz, you’ve proven worthy of moving on to our advanced courses.
If you struggle, that’s alright, many technicians do. It’s admirable that you’ve made it this far with just your handiness and your instincts, but it’s time you learned the core skills of every appliance repair master. If you want to kick appliance butt and earn more money, enroll today.
