How the Program Works

We spend one full week on site working directly with your trainee.

Training is:

  • Hands-on

  • System-specific

  • Built around your actual irrigation setup

While training your employee, we also address real issues on the course—so the system improves as the training happens.

What Your Employee Will Learn

  • How your irrigation system operates

  • Head replacement, leveling, and adjustments

  • Wire tracing and fault isolation

  • Satellite diagnostics and communication issues

This is real-world training, not classroom theory.

Your employee isn’t left guessing once we leave—they have support.
