Course provides pump guidance

Fluid Fundamentals Training, a division of Engineered Software has released the immediate the latest addition to its training catalogue.

Fluid Fundamentals Training has launched the Total Pump Training three-day course covering proper pump application, selection, operation, troubleshooting and maintenance.

Michael Volk, Professional Engineer and President of Volk and Associates, will provide live instruction for the courses.

Volk 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 17th-19th September, 2008, in Houston, Texas.

"The Total Pump Training course has been successful in the past because it is so comprehensive" Volk said.

"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 a book titled Pump Characteristics and Applications, written by Volk.

"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".
