Starting your journey in the garage door industry can be intimidating. Large catalogs of door styles, complex (and sometimes confusing) operator manuals, and the ever-dreaded callbacks when one small detail is missed during an install — it’s a lot to take in.
We understand how hard it is to get your foot in the door — we were there once too. Along the way, we learned countless tricks and tactics that helped us grow to become who we are today, and now, we're here to share them with you.

Great question! At Mount Onsite Training, we've worked hard to craft a wide variety of learning options designed to support you at every stage of your career. Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your expertise, it can be tough to know which path is right for you—that’s where MOST comes in.
We have developed a multitude of solutions to your garage door training needs. Listed below are our current programs designed with you in mind.
In-Person, Hands on Training - Learn By Doing
At Mount Onsite Training, we believe whole-heartedly that the best way to learn something is to do it. That's why our in-person, hands-on trainings are designed to get you engaged and immersed with the doors, motors and tools that you will be using out in the field and on the job.
Whether you're just starting out or are a seasoned tech looking to sharpen your skills, these in-person sessions offer valuable insight, tested techniques, and direct access to certified professionals who’ve seen it all.
Led by IDEA-Certified Trainers, including MasterTech David Mount and our seasoned team of instructors, each session provides a structured, supportive environment to help you grow your confidence and competence at any stage of your career.
How to get the MOST out of your in-person training
- Take plenty of notes and pictures
- Bring a notebook or use your phone to capture step-by-step processes, tool setups, and helpful trainer tips.
- These visuals are great references when you're back in the field.
- Come ready to get your hands dirty
- Dress for the job - work boots, work clothes and curiosity suggested.
- This is hands-on learning at its core, so the more you engage, the more you retain.
- Ask questions
- Our trainers are here to help, not to judge. Ask about things you’ve struggled with, want to understand better, or have seen done differently.
- Every question helps someone learn - not just you.
- Connect and network with others in the industry
- Don’t overlook the value of the person standing next to you.
- Building relationships with fellow techs can lead to job opportunities, shared tricks of the trade, or even a few lifelong friendships in the industry.
