Engineered Software's FFT Offers 'Pump Training' Course

LACEY, WA, July 24, 2008 - Fluid Fundamentals Training, a division of Engineered Software, Inc. announces the immediate availability of the latest addition to its training catalog. The new course from Fluid Fundamentals Training, titled Total Pump Training, is a three-day course covering proper pump application, selection, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.

Michael Volk, Professional Engineer and President of Volk & Associates, will provide live instruction for the courses. Michael Volk, P.E. has over 30 years of experience in the pump industry and has taught hundreds of courses worldwide. The course awards continuing educational credits or professional development hours upon completion. The first of the fall training courses is set for September 17-19, 2008, in Houston, Texas.

"The Total Pump Training course has been successful in the past because it is so comprehensive," said Michael Volk, P.E., Principle Consultant, and President of Volk & Associates. "We don't just focus on the basics, we look at how pump decisions and upkeep effect the entire system. It is practical knowledge useful in the work environment, and on many occasions the class can be modified to fit the needs of the individual company."

The class is suitable as a refresher course for engineers, maintenance technicians, operations supervisors, pump application engineers, sales people, new graduates, and other individuals that deal with pumping systems. The course is also offered as an on-site training course, allowing for content flexibility. A course outline is available online

Total Pump Training class attendees are given the latest edition of the book Pump Characteristics and Applications, written by the course instructor Michael Volk, P.E. This highly acclaimed book is now in its second printing and can be purchased separately from the course at the Fluid Fundamentals Learning Store found on the website www.fluidfundamentals.com. 

"This is the second of many classes we intend to offer through our Fluid Fundamentals Training outlet, and we believe is of significant, tangible value to our industry," said Michael Blondin, Vice President of Marketing and Sales. "We hand-picked our course offerings because we believe that there had been a gap in the quality of short courses available for the pump and piping industry. The selection process was based on not only the content of each course but the strength of the instruction, and the course materials offered."

"I partnered with Fluid Fundamentals to ensure that all Total Pump Training attendees are offered the highest quality of customer support and services," said Volk. "By shifting the focus of course delivery to the Fluid Fundamentals team, I am able to commit more of my energy on making the training course more applicable and effective."
