Meter Technician Training School
The
2010 QCS Meter Technician Training School (MTTS) 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 this year's 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.
