WICHITA, KAN — Viega LLC offers expanded training options for international groups as well as French- and Spanish-speaking participants.
Viega is best known for innovative press technology systems for both commercial and residential projects. Viega offers training in a variety of formats ranging from single- and multiple-day courses at its state-of-the-art educational facility in Nashua, N.H., to onsite installation demonstrations, as well as full-day seminars offered at locations across North America on crucial industry topics. This year, Viega hosted water quality- and pathogen control-focused seminars in four U.S. cities and radiant heating and cooling integration seminars in three U.S. cities, attracting participants from across North America.
Customized training programs can be designed for specific needs. The international and multilingual training programs were established by customized training needs identified for customers in Spanish- and French-speaking communities.
“We’re relied on for our knowledge in this industry. Viega is ahead of the curve and innovative when it comes to helping train participants to be smart with buildings. The training in Spanish has been very well received,” said Toby Diaz, Technical Sales Manager for Florida and Latin America, Viega. “We’ve been able to provide training to participants from many different countries, including Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Panama.”
“For the first time, we were able to offer training in French outside of Quebec. This has been a great way to demonstrate our respect for and commitment to these customers,” said Francis Longtin, District Sales Manager for Viega in Quebec. “We’ve drawn more contractor participants than ever before and watched attendance grow. We’ve received very positive comments on Viega striving to meet the needs of contractors. Often it’s the first manufacturer training in French they have received and they are more comfortable with everything presented.”
