Aberdeen, SD, February 19, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Kitchen Tune-Up, the leading kitchen and bath remodeling franchise, announces the launch of an advanced home improvement and remodeling certification program for their franchise owners. The program is designed to ensure the highest level of professionalism and expertise in the minor home remodeling industry.
CHIP – Certified Home Improvement Professional is a designation that can be earned by individual owners at basic and master levels. Points toward certification can be earned for successfully completing specialized training, serving on task forces or the system’s Advisory Council, conducting training webinars for other owners as well as upholding the company’s eight Trust Points, winning customer service or other national awards and years of experience as a Kitchen Tune-Up owner. Once certified, the business can use the CHIP logo in their advertising and on their website and they receive a distinctive pin to be worn during client consultations or at community and industry events. At the master certification level the owner also receives a badge with the master level logo and their name inscribed on it. Owners have three years from the time they register in the program to complete the certification process. To retain certification, owners must earn new points annually, assuring their continued education and growth in the field.
The certification program was rolled out at Kitchen Tune-Up’s annual convention, January 26th in Las Vegas, NV. The franchise system awarded honorary CHIP certifications to eleven longtime franchise owners who were deemed to have earned the basic certification level “many times over” according to company founder Dave Haglund. “These are the best of the best as far as running their businesses and making their customer’s happy. Some have been in the system over fifteen years and all have had some type of service on a council or board. We consider these owners to bleed orange (a reference to the company brand) and would do just about anything to help their fellow owners.”
The following franchise owners received their certification and pins; Marty Ceranec, Downers Grove, IL; Bob DiToto, Rehoboth Beach, DE; Mike Dugan, Norton, MA; Janice Dugan, Norton, MA; Glenn Keller, Bartlett, IL; Bruce Morgan, Colorado Springs, CO; Lori Morgan, Colorado Springs, CO; Ron Reichert, Rehoboth Beach, DE; Stu Reid, Fairfield, CA; Dan Tokarski, Centreville, VA and Mary Tokarski, Centreville, VA.
