Analyst Qualification Program Definition
The Analyst Qualification Program is designed to provide the analyst with a structured development program for the purpose of establishing, cultivating, and sustaining the necessary skills to provide quality data collection, data analysis, diagnosis and reporting services.

Program Benefits
Upon successful completion of the applicable qualification levels, the analyst will possess the necessary skills to effectively provide reciprocating machinery analysis.

Course Materials
Each student will receive a workbook and training materials specific to the registered course. These materials are intended to stimulate and assist in the learning process, as well as provide a valuable resource for reciprocating machinery analysis.

Training Examinations
All classes are scheduled from Monday morning through Thursday afternoon. Each student will participate in a training evaluation on the afternoon of the last day of class. The evaluation results will serve as a reinforcement tool for the materials covered that week, and can be used as a study guide for students participating in the formal qualification examination which will be given on the following day. The formal qualification examination will also include questions from previous levels of the same subject.

Qualification / Attendance Certificates
Each student who successfully masters the course content, and achieves a passing grade on the qualification exam, will be awarded a Qualification Certificate presented by Windrock Incorporated’s Director of Technical Services. For students who are present for all class instruction, but choose not to take the formal test, Attendance Certificates will be provided.

Training Locations
In addition to regularly scheduled courses at our Knoxville, TN Training Center and the New Orleans, LA metropolitan area, any of the Qualification Courses can be conducted at the customer’s location by one of our Senior Instructors. The cost for this service will be based on the number of days on site, trainer’s travel time, travel and living expenses and necessary course materials.
