TechNet International Announces
Development of Electronic Training Certification Courses

January 8, 2002 - Newington , Virginia

TechNet International, Inc. Training Institute has completed the development of the first in a series of CD-ROM Satellite Installation training courses. These courses cover satellite installation from basics to more advanced coverage of VSAT system, Spectrum Analyzer usage, and troubleshooting.

According to Jerry Fischette, President and CEO of TechNet International, "This is another significant milestone in the history of our company. Since becoming ISO-9002 certified and focusing on quality and training programs, TechNet has been looking for a cost effective way to bring an understanding of how to perform quality installation and maintenance services to the satellite industry. These CD-Rom training materials bring this knowledge to the public in a detailed easy to understand format. Much effort was placed on assuring that these training materials were complete and comprehensive yet easy to understand by any technician in this industry. Being on CD-ROM, these training materials are now available to a wider array of technicians that may not have been able to attend one of TechNet's Training Institutes seminars due to geographic or schedule issues. This achievement places us among the leaders in our industry by continuing to strive for quality installation standards."

About the Electronic Training Certification Courses

There are currently two courses available on CD-ROM: Installation 101 and TVRO & VSAT 102. Installation 101 covers satellite installation basics, connectors, weather proofing, grounding, mounting systems, electronics and other related installation basics. TVRO & VSAT 102 covers satellite fundamentals, cable and passive devices, the spectrum analyzer, locating satellites, satellite mounts, satellite electronics, VSAT systems, Lap Top computer usage and other related advanced satellite installation topics. Each course contains many pictures, drawings and screen captures to fully illustrate the many topics covered making it easy for the technician to understand. A certificate will be issued upon successful completion and testing of each course. Successful certification of both courses demonstrates that the technician has a complete understanding of basic satellite theory as well as an understanding of performing quality satellite system installations with a variety of satellite systems, mounts, equipment and tools. TechNet believes that these CD-ROM training courses are the most cost-effective, complete, detailed and easy to follow materials available in the industry and will improve every technician's skills in satellite installation and service regardless of experience level. To learn more about these CD-Rom training materials or to order the training set, please see the TechNet website for details and pricing.
