EGS&W (Electric, Gas, Steam & Water Quality) Training

CFESA is happy to announce that all 2017 EGS&W classes will take place at the new CFESA World Headquarters and Global Training Facility in Ft. Mill, SC. For 2017 we will host 2 separate EGS&W training classes on different dates to better accommodate our members.

All CFESA EGS&W courses are about hands-on trouble shooting. If your technician has worked in the field for 2 years or less or is a technician that needs a confidence boost to work in the field independently, than this is the course designed just for that technician.

There are a limited amount of spaces available for each class, so sign-up for the course now and reserve spots for your technicians. This year we will be limiting the size to 20 students per class. If you have any questions regarding the course registration or content, please contact Linda Riley at Lriley@cfesa.com or 336-346-4700.
