The course is broken down into a seven-day onsite training at the OvenGleamers head office site, covering practical cleaning skills and methodologies, as well as spending time on the road with existing franchisees, to shadow and assist. Following this, franchisees then undergo a three-day business training module, which encompasses marketing, sales and business operations.

After training, franchisees have access to phone and online support through the OvenGleamers Academy Training website, with training videos and helpful guides. The company also provide marketing support, as well as all the materials needed to establish your business including a complete operational manual, branded advertising materials, premium cleaning products and equipment, including their electric heated oven cleaning dip tank, which helps franchisees to provide a fast, efficient service.
