Weights and Measures Training

Session Information

Things to know:

  • Pre-registration is mandatory. Class size is limited to 30 participants
  • We recommend pre-registering at least 48 hours prior to a training session
  • We cannot admit anyone into a session who has not pre-registered
  • A confirmation email will be sent to the scale technician and company contact
  • Registration finalization will begin 30 minutes prior to the first session

Foundation Seminars

Recommended for scale technicians with less than three years of experience, our two-hour foundation seminars provide a deeper understanding of the presented material and the opportunity to resolve questions before moving on to the general session and scale training.

Seminars meet before the general session and scale certification training and are adapted to each scale category (small, large, or retail computing). Foundation seminars do not replace the general session.
