FAQs regarding Valor/180 Skills Training

I like the flexibility this program gives. It has a large variety of courses over different topics that can be studied in a flexible way from anywhere you like. Kai Briel Director of Technology, Weber, Inc. I have really enjoyed the opportunity to utilize the 180 skills course over the past several months. The courses were very detailed and went into depth about many different topics. Being able to choose which courses I took made it easy to enhance the skills that will come in most useful to me. I often would take the course, review the information that I learned and then work directly with our machines and service technicians to understand the information on an actual machine. The electrical and hydraulics courses are great examples of this. Up until now, I had not spent much time working with the electrical components of our machines. But after taking the 180 skills section on electrical devices and wiring, I felt much more confident in my ability to work with the electrical components of our machines. 180 skills was super easy to navigate and the website was very straightforward. I think this is a great tool for anyone to utilize, whether it is to learn new skills or just refresh what they already know. Morgan E. Larson Application Specialist, Handtmann Inc. It looks like a great resource. It was easy to maneuver through and the content was good. I like the variety of subjects. Kendra Consiglio Director HR/OD, Weber, Inc.
