DES PLAINES, ILL. — The HVACR & Plumbing Instructor Workshop, which will focus on advancing green mechanical concepts, recently welcomed the National Association of Oil Heating Service Managers (NAOSHM) as a new sponsor for the 2010 workshop.

“Our mission is education and this is a natural fit for our organization,” said Judy Garber, NAOHSM executive administrator. “Our goal is to provide our group with standardized methods of training, so that our technicians provide quality service to their customers.”

In addition to sponsorship, NAOHSM will run a “train the trainer” session at the workshop, which will be held March 24-26, 2010, at the National Conference Center, Lansdowne, Va. This session is geared towards those who teach adults. Attendees will learn some basic skills needed to effectively teach adults, how to prepare for class, and develop materials and evaluation techniques. This is an ongoing customized program NAOHSM has developed through Penn State University. In addition, NAOHSM also hosts classes on specific technical topics.
