Regional Training

FS Solutions Regional Training

Our five-day regional training curriculum includes classroom and hands-on instruction on subjects ranging from industrial vacuum technology, water blasting and hydroexcavation. Classes are held in a comfortable classroom setting for the knowledge portion of the training, while actual use of material learned will be conducted either on an FS Solutions simulator, client-owned equipment or classroom simulations as appropriate. Students attending classes must have appropriate work and safety gear for any hands-on equipment instruction.
