Training classes for engineers

Engineering
1

I want to take some training classes on diesel engines. Specifically the Cat 3516 series. The company I work for will send employees to training upon request but I have to know what to ask them for since there is no training program in place.

I have heard that companies like Chouest have their own training schools. I want to try and get some training similar to what these companies offer so that I have better knowledge of the machines I work with. Where can training like this be found? What classes would offer the best experience?

2

I would contact Caterpillar and ask if they offer it at one of their Repair Houses.

3

PON Caterpillar in Oslo has multiple offerings for CAT 3500 series training for CUSTOMERS. Many places reserve CAT training for dealer employees.

4

Im also looking for a 3500 class, Ring power Cat in Florida supposedly has a program, but I believe the guys at HOS or ECO may know the place to go.

5

Louisiana Machinery has 3500 classes. Did a 3 day with them. Was a good class with practical fault finding on the last day.

6

I believe they are the #1 Cat supplier, with NC Machinery on the west coast being #2.

Thanks for the information!
