Will I receive the whole Platinum Program in the mail?
No. We no longer distribute printed manuals as part of the Platinum Program. We have found that most students
have adapted to using the online PDF documents that are available as downloads from this website.
You must be a Nephew Club member to gain access to the manuals. In addition, the Online Training portion
of the Platinum Program is currently available from the Mindflash website.
How soon will I be able to start the Platinum Program and have access to the manuals and training materials?
Access to the Mindflash website / Online Training is setup within two business days of your purchase.
Access to the Nephew Club / Online Repair Wizard is established at the same time by our IT staff.
We try to get you in operation with the online materials within a few hours of receiving your order.
Your Wizard tablet computer is normally shipped within 2 business days, depending on availability from our
suppliers. Normally, we have an ample supply of configured tablets in stock, ready to be shipped.
How long will I have free access to the Nephew Club / Online Repair Wizard?
Platinum Program purchasers are granted a free one year subscription to the Nephew Club / Online Repair
Wizard. Your Nephew Club subscription can be extended beyond the initial year by going to the
Nephew Club Signup Page
and purchasing an additional month, quarter, or year of membership.
Do I get a diploma after I am done? Is your school accredited?
Nope! Sorry, a diploma implies that we are operating an accredited school and that is not the case.
This is a self-study business startup program, not a school. To award a diploma violates state and federal
guidelines established back in the 60's when many shady "schools" sometimes called "diploma mills"
offered diplomas in exchange for money. The "diplomas" had no relation to skills or education.
Since "graduates" were really being bilked out if their money, regulators stepped in and passed a series
of laws to protect consumers.
A school must be accredited and comply with a complex set of guidelines. We are not accredited.
These guidelines include tests, grades and continual feedback of information between students and teachers.
Among other things the guidelines also require that the teachers hold credentials from accredited
institutions. Here, we merely supply you with information in a series of "How to Books". If your desire
is to find out all there is to know about appliance repair this is the place you want to be.
However, everything is self-study. No tests are sent in and no grades are ever given. This is not
a course in the school sense, instead it is simply a business opportunity. You do it on your own.
And sorry no diploma. Some of you are concerned about customers asking for credentials, like a card
or diploma. Forget it, in 35 years no customer has ever asked me for any type of credential.
If one did, I would figure they were crazy and leave the job. See this and related topics in the
"Customer Relations" manual of the program.
I hope it is perfectly clear that we don't offer any sort of a Diploma; however, if you must have
a piece of paper, I have recently discovered that you can get one from Damnation University
(ole Dam U) for only $9.99. They offer various degrees such as Associate I of Appliance Repair,
a Bachelor of Appliance Repair, a Master of Appliance Repair and PhD of Appliance Repair. Go for it!
Does your program qualify for tuition reimbursement?
Typically only accredited institutions are eligible for tuition reimbursement and we are not accredited.
Therefore the answer is no. However, occasionally an employer will decide to pay the program cost for
an employee. Also, several appliance repair companies have purchased the program and used it to train
their employees. The program is all carefully organized and an effective training aid.
What if I am unhappy with the program? Can I send it back?
Yes, we offer a 30 day trial with money-back guarantee, no questions asked. The few returns we receive are
usually due to an unexpected change in health or finances. We encourage you to review and study the
comprehensive literature available carefully before you make a commitment. This is a business venture
and to succeed, it takes persistence and work. Numerous testimonials are always available for review.
Can I order a single book or just certain ones?
We no longer offer single manuals for sale. We found it wasn't worth the hassle. When you purchase
the Platinum Program, you have access to the complete set of online manuals and the entire online
training course.
Let's talk about the price of this program, it seems a bit high to me.
Please compare us to other legitimate business startup programs and you will find mine to be a terrific
deal. My business advisers have been telling me for years that the price is too low! This is not a
"Make $1,000 a day stuffing envelopes" scheme, this is for real and you will get real value.
Where else can you get your money back in one busy week? Most franchises take years to pay off.
We preach that if you work hard, listen and follow instructions, treat customers fairly, you will build
a terrific, stable respectable independent business good for the rest of your life.
And this is not the Middle East, where dickering is acceptable. With the exception of the occasional
discount coupons that I send out, everybody pays the same price.
