welcome to csia's technical training website

Technical Training 2011 has been cancelled due to low registration.

In its sixth year, the much-acclaimed CSIA/Sierra College Ropeway Mechatronics program is only getting better.  Planning is underway for new in-depth demonstrations and hands-on opportunities.

This summer we are offering RoMec III (Advanced).  Courses will be held at Northstar-at-Tahoe on June 6-10. 

As usual, each course will consist of five-days (40 hours) of intensive training and will be limited to 24 attendees per class. The cost per student is $1450 for CSIA members and $1550 for non-members and includes lunch each day, a kick-off BBQ and several evening networking events.  For those attendees requiring lodging, Northstar is offering a special Bed and Breakfast package, the details of which will be posted soon.  Reservations can be made directly through Northstar at 530.562.2201.  Make sure to reference CSIA for the discount.

CSIA will be selecting two master level technicians to attend the program at a discounted rate to prepare to become trainers for future courses. We are looking for people with the technical experience, commitment and leadership skills to contribute to the success of our RoMec courses.  Please contact CSIA if you or a member of your staff is interested!

Sierra College Professors accompanied by industry experts will teach a curriculum based in Ropeway Mechatronics, a study of principles, components, symbology, and troubleshooting of electrical, electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and machine control systems as they relate to passenger ropeways. The course will be approximately 25% lecture and discussions and 75% hands-on experience.

Registration is open to all resorts on a first-come, first-served basis, with an early application option of CSIA members. Get those applications in early! We may not be able to accommodate all applicants.

This promises to be an outstanding training program. We look forward to your attendance!
