These courses have been taken and received with great response
from the students. They are RSES's answer to general knowledge
and preparation for RSES certification. If you are being asked
or told by your employer to get certified, this is how it's
done.
These
Technical Manuals are in a set of three. They are 36 chapters
long, averaging one chapter per week. It starts in September
and ends in May to June. The class is held at Johnstone
Supply Classroom, 1015 SE Pine Portland, OR. 97214. The
cost is $512.40 for members and $659.40 for non-members.
This includes a thick 3-ring binder and various other handouts.
The 3 ring binders should be kept in the service van as
reference on the job. The books are laid out so as to build
on what the previous book has taught.
Thanks to Johnstone Supply for the use of their classroom.
