New Courses
We have added some new courses, described below, and are considering a number of others in the coming months, including Loss Prevention and OSHA. Let us know if you have a need.

Basic Math: This is designed for students not ready for Basic Mechanics or Basic Electricity. Covers adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions; converting fractions to decimals and decimals to fractions; and basic algebra, used in Basic Mechanics and Basic Electricity. June 2 – 4, $500.

Compressed Air System Management: Many of the problems that plague industrial compressed air systems are easily corrected with simple and inexpensive solutions. The purpose of this course is to lay the foundations for identifying, quantifying, and correcting many of these problems.

Our Instructor: Brent Ehrlich. Brent entered the compressed air field as the System Specialist for a distributor in North Carolina and Virginia. While there, he pioneered advancements in areas ranging from data acquisition techniques to products used to manage condensate flow to unconventional system redesigns. He has performed numerous audits that have resulted in considerable (up to 75%) savings for his clients both in power and maintenance costs. Innovative software he developed for analyzing the data from an audit, coined Flow-Based Analysis, makes it possible for him to computer model future performance by putting together actual recorded system behavior with variables for proposed equipment. He is a graduate of CEESI’s Advanced Flow Measurement Course on compressible gasses, where he learned what few of his competitors have: the correct placement and type of meter needed for a given job. He is a Qualified Instructor with the Compressed Air Challenge training program. Brent currently owns and operates Air Services as an independent consultant to industrial compressed air users and all of his solutions reflect a “global” view – supply side to end users on the production floor. August 5, $300.

Value Added Maintenance: When the typical corporate mantra today is, “do more with less” [until you do everything with nothing], this course is designed to help you understand your corporate culture and defend your headcount and budget. June 18, $300.

Special Classes
These are classes offered only a few times per year. We draw your attention to them so you won't miss one you were hoping to attend.

Systematic Troubleshooting: This course teaches a practical alternative to “parts replacing”, i.e., swapping out parts until the problem goes away. See our web site for further information on this class. August 12 – 14, $775.

Systematic Troubleshooting for Managers and Supervisors: This course goes beyond Systematic Troubleshooting, to cover techniques for making intelligent decisions when faced with multiple alternatives; assessing a complex situation to determine the logical order to taking next steps; and avoiding potential problems. June 24 – 26, $775.

DC Drives: 15 Professional Development Hours for Professional Engineers registered in NC. This is a hands-on course that will really help you understand the operation of DC drives. May 28 – 29, $580.
