Re: STI University Turf Service
Seminars (2007/2008)
Dear Valued STI Customer:
It’s school time once again and
we would like to welcome you to this website for our
upcoming seminars. This year’s seminars will be offered
from November 2007 through February 2008 with a
limitation of 25 participants for each seminar on a
first come basis. We will be conducting seminars in our
three major locations: Charlotte, NC / Richmond, VA /
Nashville, TN. Other satellite seminars will be added
as needed.
All STI based seminars will be
six hours of hands-on and visual aid teaching that will
cover all aspects of subject equipment. Each
participant will receive pertinent information for
performing all necessary repairs including a copy the
Toro Service Reference CD-ROM.
Our STI University certification
program will be offered again this year which will
require four seminar credits from any of our seminar
locations between November 2007 and February 2008.
Those who attend four seminars and pass the required
tests will receive a “Diploma of Certification”. All
seminars will count as one credit each; previous unused
credits can not be brought forward for this year’s
program.
We will continue to offer
EETC (Equipment & Engine
Training Council) certification testing for those
interested in being certified by this prestigious
organization. We will administer the testing for all
seven different categories (see attached schedule).
OPEESA (Outdoor Power
Equipment and Engine Service Association) will score the
tests and maintain records of the test results. They
will also make available to those who pass the test the
following: certificates, patches and other items to
promote the technician’s achievement and
professionalism. Some of our seminars will carry
recertification credit(s) for those who have received
prior certification. The registration form and fee for
these tests will need to be sent to OPEESA (see
attachment in this website). Please contact us if you
have any questions concerning certification or
recertification.
A schedule of our seminars along
with the fees, registration form and seminar
descriptions are also attached. Anyone wishing to
attend a seminar should download a copy of this
registration form to be completed and returned via fax
or mail to the appropriate location at least 30 days
prior to the desired class date or e-mail us at
stiu-turf@smithturf.com. Once approved, you will
receive written confirmation by mail. Please make sure
that you include a purchase order number if your company
requires one.
In addition to the seminars this
year, STI is offering a Special Winter Service Program
to those customers who would like to send their reels in
for grinding and those requiring maintenance services to
their turf equipment. Please call your local STI
Service Department for details.
We would like to see each of you
get into your chosen class, so please make your
decisions early and register as soon as possible. We
all look forward to seeing you again this year.
