FAST P ROGRAM O BJECTIVES The objective is for our representatives to have the capability of generating authorized personnel without input from the factory. The expectation is that our representatives will have control of the timing and organization of the training making it more accessible and economical.
FAST P ROGRAM W ATER K ING ’ S R OLE Water King will provide training materials, approval of the applications and review of the programs.
FAST P ROGRAM G ETTING S TARTED To initiate the program we need a cadre of Authorized individuals that can then serve as trainers and mentors to aspiring water technicians.
1.One study unit (with an exam), to include completing the required reading list. 2.One unit of hands on training work, may include a combination of videos and a walk through with a FAST. May be substituted by equivalent, verifiable field service work on current model valves. (Discuss substitution with Ray) 3.Participation in a Water King start up with an FAST. 4.Participation in a Water King service call with an FAST. 5.Letter of recommendation by a FAST. 6.Two personal references. 7.Personal resume.
