TRAINING

Custom Courses

If you have a specific need or several employees that would benefit Jana training, you may find it cost effective to have a custom, in-house seminar provided at your facility on topics that are most important to your business. Jana can customize one- or two-day training seminars; one-day seminars typically include 5-7 topics, while two-day seminars can accommodate 10-12 topics. Custom training courses are run by the same instructors that run courses at our headquarters. Hosting training courses at your facility allows Jana to talk openly about your specific products, conduct hands-on failure analyses of real failures, and tailor our course topics to your needs.

  • Introduction to Plastics Used in the Pipe Industry
