Contractor Training Modules

Qualifying Peak Advantage contractors have exclusive access to in-person Contractor Training Modules. This newly designed program allows contractors to mix and match training as their field team demands. Technical Representatives from JM will travel to the contractor's facility and lead 2 – 3 hour sessions focusing on key skills pre-determined by the contractor. JM will provide a product kit tailored to the requested training. Multiple modules can be requested together to create a truly customized training experience. Based upon their level in the program, contractors will earn a set number of credits for customized Contractor Training Modules each year.  Look for additional modules to be added throughout the year.

To schedule Module Training, the contractor will notify their local JM Sales Representative who will coordinate with the local Field Technical Representative. Please see course details below for available modules and training credits:
