Tallahassee, Fla.?EUR??,,????'?????<??oe GTO, Inc., makers of the GTO/PRO professional series of swing and slide gate openers, has taken its dealer/installer technical training program on the road. Its most recent programs were held Baton Rouge, La., Pompano Beach, Fla. and Nashville, Tenn. Trainers John Bell and Tyra ?EUR??,,????'?????<?Will?EUR??,,????'?????<? Williams, both certified service technicians, trained more than 130 students in the three-day classes. Students participated in general knowledge sessions and advanced training sessions.
Also included in the classes were students who were re-certified at existing GTO Authorized Service Centers. Students completing our technical class go out on jobs with the confidence and specialized knowledge of how to install any of our products and accessories in a wide variety of applications,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said Brad Hollis, GTO/PRO director of sales. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?The technical class also teaches installers how to repair any GTO/PRO operator to get it back in service quickly.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
?EUR??,,????'?????<?Developed for professional dealers and installers, the GTO training program brings the program and certification to them,?EUR??,,????'?????<? said Kevin Peaden, vice president of sales. ?EUR??,,????'?????<?In the past the class was scheduled ten times a year at the GTO/PRO facility in Tallahassee, Fla. But now more installing dealers are being trained by taking the program to their locations. Since we?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?ve taken the training sessions on the road, we?EUR??,,????'?????<???EUR?ve been able to reach many more technicians than we did when the program was in-house. This increases the number of knowledgeable GTO techs, which ultimately benefits the end user.?EUR??,,????'?????<?
The class is designed for anyone involved in the gate operator industry including sales, service or installation personnel. The three-day programs are geared to basic and advanced levels of installation, troubleshooting and repair of all GTO/PRO products and accessories. In these classes each student receives personal attention. GTO/PRO classes include trouble shooting, disassembling and reassembling every component of the opener, UL 325 safety procedures, and full installation of the entire line of GTO/PRO gate operators and accessories.
Upon successful completion of the course students receive a certificate to be displayed in their office for customers to see. GTO will host upcoming classes in Orlando, Fla. and Annapolis, Md. as well as in other regions of the country throughout the rest of the year.
