What are the Training Options?
AGFU offers three basic training options: online webinar, presentation at your location, or programs at our training center in Exton, PA.
We can schedule webinars live and usually keep them short, so your team can easily fit training into their day. One of our knowledgeable experts will run the session and answer your questions on the spot.
AGFU shares webinar recordings after the fact for any team members who can’t make the live session.
Presentations at your location or chapter meeting are pending a group of 10 or more people. AGFU customizes them to your needs as a short lunch & learn or a lengthier session.
In conjunction with General Air Products, we will hold programs at the Training Center in Exton, PA. Training includes classroom-style presentations as well as hands-on training, free of charge.
As a NICET Recognized Training Provider and ICC Preferred Provider, CPD/CEU are available for all programs.
