Rain Bird Services Corporation has announced the launch of its 2011-2012 Rain Bird Academy training season with more than 70 classes and workshops scheduled across the country. Irrigation and green industry professionals interested in enhancing their irrigation skills and knowledge can now choose from a new selection of Rain Bird Academy training events including general irrigation, new to irrigation, golf and central control classes.
With a full-time staff of seasoned training professionals, Rain Bird Services Corporation says it is able to develop and deliver the high quality training. In addition to improved irrigation skills, attendees of Rain Bird Academy courses may also earn continuing education units (CEUs) from professional organizations such as the Irrigation Association (IA), the United States Green Building Council’s LEED program, PLANET, the Landscape Architectural Continuing Educational System and other state and local organizations.
According to Ron Wolfarth, director of Rain Bird Services Corporation, his organization takes the responsibility of irrigation education very seriously. “Rain Bird Academy is an excellent solution for individuals who want to advance their professional development,” Wolfarth said. “The significant number of companies that continue to send employees to our training events each year is testament to the ongoing success of our educational programs.”
