Time to Get Your Employees Certified! ...continued
The PSAI is pleased to announce that its Basic Service Technician Training Course will be available in an
ONLINE FORMAT on October 12, 2017 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm central time. The deadline to register and
pay is October 2, 2017.
To take advantage of the course, companies will need to:
• Register and pay for each attendee. Forms are
available on the PSAI website here: psai.org/about -
certification/ .
• Provide each attendee with an individual computer
and high - speed internet access, or set up a room
with a large screen on which the course can be
streamed to multiple attendees. If neither of these is
practical, reserve space at a location where such
facil ities are available (e.g., libraries, community
colleges, etc.). The PSAI will consult and assist you
with these preparations to the extent possible.
This course is preparation for the PSAI Certification
exam. Companies interested in having team members
certified will need to:
• Register and pay for each attendee's exam fee
• Appoint a non - bias proctor from outside their
company to assist with exam administration. For
more information on procedures for qualifying
proctors and their responsibilities, contact Jan
Nelson at jann@psai.org .
Common misconception regarding the course
The PSAI offers this course both online and in perso n throughout the year. When the course is offered online,
the information is relayed in a "virtual classroom" of sorts, and is taught in real time with a live, virtual instructor.
For this reason, those interested in the training must register by the deadl ine and plan to take the course during
the 10:00 am to 2:00 pm CST timeslot. There is no option for sending a recording of the virtual classroom for
the course to be taken at a different time.
For those interested in the Basic Service Technician Trainin g Course and certification exam but prefer an in -
person learning environment, the next classroom opportunity will be at the Nuts and Bolts Educational
Conference in November. Check out the agenda here: psai.org/psai - nuts - bolts/ .
While the PSAI does offer select training courses each quarter, the PSAI Basic Service Technician Training is only
offered a few times throughout the year – don't miss this opportunity to have your employees certified! Feel
free to contact the PSAI office with any questions at +1 - 9 52 - 854 - 8300 or via email at info@psai.org .
