You can learn alot on these boards,But as stated above there is nothing like on the job training.I am new to this business also and worked with another company last week for free to get some experience,we did a large university with nine hoods,some self cleaning types,wok cooking ,fryer,broiler this place had it all. The training has given me the confidence I needed to get rolling,and to hopefully prevent any costly errors. After actually doing the work I would never suggest hood cleaning without some sort of training.
