Quality Certification Services Inc. (QCS) will be conducting the next Meter Technician Training School in January 2015. This school will be held January 26-28, 2015 in Orlando, FL and will be hosted by Southeast DHIA and National DHIA. 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/National DHIA-approved milk meters. We will be using the Southeast DHIA Portable Meter Center for hands-on work.

The school will begin on Monday at 12:00 p.m. and will finish Wednesday at noon. All attendees are invited to join the National DHIA Board of Directors for a joint lunch on Wednesday before departure. A complete meter school schedule will be available late in 2014. Registration is $250 and will include (with the support of our partners) meter technician manual, breaks, lunches and dinners. Travel, hotel fees and incidentals are the responsibility of the attendee.

Registration information is due before December 31, 2014. Class size is limited and is available on a first-come first-served basis.

The auditing guidelines require that a meter technician must attend a meter technician training school at least 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 focusing on meter center design and upkeep, and effectively managing parts and replacement costs.
