There were a total of 27 technicians from Eng- land, Scotland, and France. The training seminar was four days long and all technicians had the opportunity to have hands on experience. They learned about User Programs, Set Up Modes; as well as, learning how to change brakes, boards, and other components. Most technicians have not worked on SCIFIT units yet so the experience was good for them. Great job Del! .
