Valve Basics Custom Training
Experienced personnel are retiring and many newcomers lack basic knowledge about valves and related equipment. Sending numerous staff on out-of-town travel is more expensive than ever. With tightening budgets, it’s hard to find affordable training for your engineers and other employees. VMA can help: If you have 25-plus employees who need training on the fundamentals of valves, actuators and controls, we have the perfect solution for your training needs--a custom valve basics education program. We can modify Valves, Actuators & Controls 101 for your industry – and teach your course either at your facility or at nearby venue… all for less than the cost of the registration fee to attend VMA’s regular course – and with no travel expenses.

How is the curriculum developed?
The topics shown (left column) provide the basic framework for the course. You let us know which topics seem most relevant for your group. Then, members of VMA’s Education & Training Committee will assemble the coursework, adjusting the curriculum so that it best fits your needs.
How LONG IS THE COURSE?
We can teach a one- or two-day course, with topics selected based on what your employees need to learn. For a large refinery with 40 engineers who needed training, we repeated a one-day course so that only half of the group was away from the plant at one time. Most importantly, we can work with you to determine the best structure.
Will you have products on display?
Samples of selected products are shown to help clarify what is being presented. In addition, we include sufficient breaks so that attendees can examine the products up close and ask questions of our industry experts.
Who teaches the course?
Our Valve Ed instructors are members of the Valve Manufacturers Association or Valve Repair Council. They are all experienced practitioners, who know their subject matter inside and out. In addition, our presenters are committed to presenting a program that is educational and that does not promote any one company’s brand.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Because there are a number of factors to consider, we will provide a quote based on: 1) Where you are located; 2) the length of the course; 3) the number of people taking the course; and 4) other expenses such as facility rental, catering, etc.
