Bring Your Questions ….They Will Be Answered!

Enercon’s courses have been designed to be as practical and useful as possible and attempt to bring these subjects into a “real life” context for the participants.  This is done, in part, by allowing the attendees to discuss their specific operations problems as well as directly participate in the structured course program.  If a specific question raised cannot be answered immediately, all attempts will be made to have an answer before the end of the program.  If this is not possible, the question will be researched and a response provided as soon as practical after the course.

REGISTRATION

You may enroll in any course by enrolling online, by calling tel. 305-445-0647, or via email to info@enercongroup.com .

          Confirmation and course outline will be sent to registrants.
