Engineered Software, Inc. Announces New Pump Training Course
New Training Titles Added to the Fluid Fundamentals Brand
Lacey, Washington - July
24, 2008 - Fluid Fundamentals Training, a division of Engineered
Software, Inc. announces the immediate availability of the
latest addition to its training catalog. The new course from
Fluid Fundamentals Training, titled Total Pump Training,
is a three-day course covering proper pump application,
selection, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
Michael Volk, Professional Engineer and President of Volk &
Associates, will provide live instruction for the courses.
Michael Volk, P.E. has over 30 years of experience in the pump
industry and has taught hundreds of courses worldwide. The
course awards continuing educational credits or professional
development hours upon completion. The first of the fall
training courses is set for September 17-19, 2008, in Houston,
Texas.
"The Total Pump Training course has been successful in the past
because it is so comprehensive," said Michael Volk, P.E.,
Principle Consultant, and President of Volk & Associates. "We
don't just focus on the basics, we look at how pump decisions
and upkeep effect the entire system. It is practical knowledge
useful in the work environment, and on many occasions the class
can be modified to fit the needs of the individual company."
The class is suitable as a refresher course for engineers,
maintenance technicians, operations supervisors, pump
application engineers, sales people, new graduates, and other
individuals that deal with pumping systems. The course is also
offered as an on-site training course, allowing for content
flexibility. A course outline is available online.
Total Pump Training class attendees are given the latest edition
of the book Pump Characteristics and Applications, written by
the course instructor Michael Volk, P.E. This highly acclaimed
book is now in its second printing and can be purchased
separately from the course at the Fluid Fundamentals Learning
Store found on the website
www.fluidfundamentals.com.
"This is the second of many classes we intend to offer through
our Fluid Fundamentals Training outlet, and we believe is of
significant, tangible value to our industry," said Michael
Blondin, Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "We hand-picked
our course offerings because we believe that there had been a
gap in the quality of short courses available for the pump and
piping industry. The selection process was based on not only the
content of each course but the strength of the instruction, and
the course materials offered."
"I partnered with Fluid Fundamentals to ensure that all Total
Pump Training attendees are offered the highest quality of
customer support and services," said Volk. "By shifting the
focus of course delivery to the Fluid Fundamentals team, I am
able to commit more of my energy on making the training course
more applicable and effective."
