2008 Course and Registration Information

PFE will continue to provide superior technical training on our entire product range. 2008 promises to be a very exciting year with the launch of new PFE products and services.

General Information

Training is provided at no cost to all “current sales” dealers who have purchased equipment in the past 12 months. Those dealers who have not purchased equipment in the past 12 months must pay for classes in advance. The training fee for a 5 Day Class is $1000 / 4 Day class is $800 / 3 Day class is $600 / 1 Day class is $200. Payment for classes can be made via credit card, P.O. Number, or company check.

Dealers may request an addition to the training schedule in any open calendar space. We require two seats be filled in order to conduct a class. We will attempt to fill two seats to the best of our ability. However, if two seats cannot be filled the requested addition will be cancelled.

Classes are filled on a first request - first confirmed basis. Dealers finishing the complete registration process and in receipt of a confirmation have priority. ALL classes have a six (6)-technician attendance limit. Please DO NOT make any travel arrangements (which cannot be altered) prior to receiving a registration confirmation from PFE.

Technicians must attend the full course and pass a written and diagnostic review of course content to obtain factory certification.

It is the responsibility of the Dealer / Dealer Service Manager to make sure the attending Technician has the proper basic training, education and skills to master the materials taught during the course.

  • Adequate Reading and Reading Comprehension Skills
  • Electronics (Basic Electronics / Schematic Reading / Digital Volt Meter)
  • Mechanics (Basic Mechanics / Tools - Gears / Pulleys / Motors / Clutches / Brakes)
  • Computer Skills *(Automailer 5 Plus - XP Operating System / File Management / Program Installation / Driver Installation)
  • Basic Folder / Inserter Knowledge

    It is recommended that technicians arrive on the evening prior to the scheduled start date. It is the responsibility of the technicians arriving late to arrange with the instructor to make up for lost time. Each technician must arrange for their own transportation to and from the airport and between the Hotel & PFE (Hotels are not within walking distance of the Training Facility). We are unable to provide any shuttle services. Do NOT make return flight bookings any earlier than 7PM on the last day of class. Classes are scheduled to end at 5:00PM on the last day; flights should be arranged accordingly.
