Key Talking Points:  Hands-on training is the best method. When you do it yourself you learn better than any other training Techs need to find the time and make the sacrifice to attend training There is a huge sacrifice by every training supplier to design and present great training Use community colleges for these events vs. a hotel or restaurant Let the college’s instructors attend for free.
