EDUCATION

Rainforest University

PROMOTING SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, LEADERSHIP, MOTIVATION AND TEAMWORK FOR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR PROFESSIONALS.

Rainforest Plumbing & Air hosts free maintenance seminars for groups of maintenance professionals including Property Maintenance Technicians, Property Maintenance Managers and Property Maintenance Supervisors.  Seminars are hosted at our site and include a FREE lunch and gifts for all attendees from property management companies.

In the past, we've called these seminars "Customer Appreciation Days".  Educational offerings may be done in conjunction with your regularly scheduled company meetings.  We provide the venue, some education and a FREE lunch!

In addition to hosting seminar groups at our facility, we can bring the class to you.  Seminar topics are taught on a reservation basis as well as each year as part of the AMA (Arizona Multi-housing Association) Education and Event Series.

We teach the following topics:
