Real World Training...for Real World Needs

Being able to understand, operate, maintain and trouble-shoot your own air conditioning and refrigeration system is what this course is all about. It is perfect foranyone who is involved with HVAC&R systems in their building or facility.

And because we know time is money, this seminar isdesigned to have immediate impact! We approach ourstudents as if they were our own employees. We givethem real world, practical knowledge they can usetoday. And they are expected to go back to their work-place and immediately apply what they have learned.Now that’s “Real World” training!

Testing for EPA certification is optional. Students maytake the test administered by our instructor at the end ofDay 2. While we cover all necessary material for takingthe test and make every attempt to help our studentspass this exam, we cannot guarantee individual success.Therefore it is recommended that students who want totake the test attend both days and plan time to studybefore attending the class.

“Having been disappointed by other seminars I’ve attended, I was pleasantly surprised by this outstanding presentation by American Trainco.”

Tom Onuschak – Eastwood Printing

Understanding

American Trainco instructors are seasoned veteranswith many years of real world work experience. In addition, they are required to have a formal educationand need to be true leaders in their field. We don't hirefield people without teaching experience, and we don'thire teachers without field experience. As a result, students who attend our seminars often get more froma couple days with our instructors than from years ofreading books, watching videos, or even working onthe job. How do we know? They tell us.

Anyone can teach theory, but there simply is no substitution for experience. What sets American Traincoapart is our ability to communicate that experience toour students. As one attendee told us at the end of histwo-day training course, "I think I can go back to worknow and teach the veterans a thing or two."Mission accomplished.

From the start, we’ve demanded that all our presenta-tions would be lively, attractive, crisp and clear. Ourinstructors use state-of-the-art computers, projectionequipment and software to bring you a high qualityvisual experience. Unlike some training experiences, you won't get a

sales presentation at an American Trainco seminar - allyou get is an honest, commercially unbiased education.We do not engage in the sales or promotion of industrialsuppliers’ products, so you know that by attending oneof our seminars, your time and money is well spent.

You will receive a personalized Certificate of Completionand .7 American Trainco Continuing Education Unitsapproved by the Maintenance Training Association ofthe Americas for each day attended (1.4 credits for twodays).
