WHO SHOULD ATTEND
One-day CFS classes are best for those wanting to spread out training
rather than completing an accelerated format through Fastener Training
Week. The series of seven CFS classes/plant tours can be taken in any
order.
Given the advanced technical nature of this program, it is highly
recommended that participants have at least two years of experience in
fastener sales, purchasing, manufacturing or quality assurance or have
completed FTI’s three-part Product Training Program, available through
our Online Learning Library.
Please note: each participant is REQUIRED to bring a calculator.
REGISTRATION FEE INCLUDES
•
A full day of training in a small-group environment
•
Training materials to take back to work
•
Continental breakfast, lunch and refreshments

Specialist™ designation

It’s importance to be able to ask customers, purchasing agents and
vendors the right questions. “We are a more sophisticated operation
when we can speak to those standards and move intelligently in that
space. CFS training helped get us into that process mindset,”
- Caleb Zehnder, CEO/Founder, ZMG Fasteners Plus
