Automated Logic

Factory Certified Live Instructor eLearning

Now offering hybrid training classes!

Most in-person classes offered at our Pleasanton location, can also be taught remotely in the same session.

Inquire about hybrid training at: training@sunbeltcontrols.com

 

In 2020, Sunbelt Controls developed a method for remotely deploying the same quality of Factory Certified Training Classes that our customers have grown to love: Live Instructor-led eLearning in a virtual Zoom classroom environment. This method of training allows for group exercises and one-on-one instruction with the use of breakout rooms. The instructor is able to see the work that students do remotely as if he was in the room with them enabling real-time feedback.

Students connect securely to a fully outfitted computer and training case with modules and components that are dedicated to their training session. The learning experience is comparable to in-person sessions without the added cost of travel.

 

 

Please see our virtual classroom schedule below for all eLearning classes.
