The 2010 QCS Meter Technician Training School is scheduled…
Quality Certification Services Inc. (QCS) will be conducting the next Meter Technician Training School in August 2010.
This school will be held August 25-27, 2010 in Ithaca, NY and will be hosted by Dairy One Cooperative Inc.
This school will provide training in the maintenance, operation and calibration of all approved portable milk meters.
It is an excellent opportunity for meter technicians, both new and experienced, to refine their meter care skills and network with other meter technicians.
The meter technician training school provides classroom instruction and hands-on work with various ICAR/NDHIA-approved milk meters.
We will be using the Dairy One Cooperative Inc. Stationary and Portable Meter Centers, with training in standard-flow, dual-meter and fast-flow calibration procedures on all meter models.
Make plans to attend a MTTS to retain your certification….
Effective January 1, 2008, the auditing guidelines require that a meter technician
must attend a meter technician training school once every five years to retain certification.
The QCS website
www.quality-certification.com
) has a current list of all certified meter technicians and the last MTTS attended.
Please note that attendance is limited to ensure an effective class size.
QCS is committed to provide this educational opportunity for meter technicians each year in a different geographic region of the country.
In addition to training and support from QCS and manufacturer representatives, QCS will be videotaping instructional service and calibration videos, focusing on meter center design and upkeep, and effectively managing parts and replacement costs.
