Our Story
Why We Built This
Most training programs either overcomplicate things or leave out what actually matters. We built Service Trade Institute to fix that—by focusing on real jobs, real challenges, and real results. The goal was simple: create a system that helps anyone learn faster, work smarter, and build something sustainable
Meet the Founder
Michael Carter (Founder & Lead Instructor)
Michael Carter founded Service Trade Institute with a clear goal—to simplify training in the kitchen exhaust cleaning industry and make it accessible to anyone serious about building a real business.
With years of hands-on experience in exhaust cleaning, inspections, and working with NFPA standards, he recognized a major gap between traditional training and what actually happens on the job.
Instead of focusing on theory, Michael built a system based on real-world work—helping students understand how to handle jobs, stay compliant, and grow a profitable service business with confidence.
