The
2012 QCS Meter Technician Training School (MTTS) is scheduled…
Quality
Certification Services Inc. (QCS) will be conducting the next Meter Technician
Training School in late fall of 2012 in Queretaro, Mexico. This school
will provide training in both Spanish and English 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
Holstein Mexico Meter Center, 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.
