On-site Classes are Temporarily Cancelled

Class attendee and employee health and safety are very important to us at Sunbelt Controls. With the concerns surrounding COVID-19, on-site classes are cancelled until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to restarting on-site classes when we can.

Factory Certified Live Instructor eLearning 

Sunbelt Controls has developed a first of its kind Factory Certified Training deployed remotely. We are introducing Live Instructor eLearning where courses are conducted live in an instructor-led virtual Zoom classroom. 

Please see our virtual classroom schedule below for all eLearning classes through the end of the year.   

     

       

Sunbelt Controls is proud to be a part of Automated Logic’s Partners in Training program. Our instructors are Factory Certified at the highest Gold level. Our Gold level classrooms are required to meet the same standard as ALC World Headquarters. We have been affiliated with the ALC training department since 2007.

As an owner/operator you have invested in your WebCTRL system, now invest in your employees. Students can earn a certificate for each training class and learn best practices to tune your system for maximum efficiency. The most balanced, comprehensive training will come by following the Owner Operator Certification path found on pages 6 & 7 of the  ALC Course Catalog

Our program offers 8 hands-on, task-based Factory Certified training courses. We utilize Automated Logic Corporations’ factory-approved software, hardware, and materials. Training locations include: San Francisco (Pleasanton), Sacramento, Los Angeles (Azusa), San Diego and Las Vegas. We can also teach the same factory certified classes at your facility.
