Housecall Pro for Education
Housecall Pro for Education has already been rolled out at trade schools across the country, with more than 100 students completing their certification. The program has been embraced not only by students, but by instructors.
“I liked how (Housecall Pro for Education) was able to expose the students not only to the dispatch software but also the insight into business operations,” said Jonathan Paracsi, instructor at Polaris Technical Institute, one of the participating schools. “Hopefully, we can make this an annual training with my senior students.”
