FANUC training courses

[hydrospin01]

Has anyone had any of FANUC america or GE FANUC training coarses? Im thinking about taking some for 16m/18m maintenance and one for macro b programing but am not sure if they are worth the money. What are your opinions

I have taken them, If you get the right instructor there is often alot you can pick up that otherwise is not in the manuals etc.
But like any course of this type, I have found it pays to study the subject as much as you possibly can beforehand, find out the area(s) that stump you, this way you know what questions to ask.
Any questions you think of after you get back is usually to late.

did they get much into changing parameters that would add option to your system?

Just finished up the 16i/18i comprehensive maint course. Very good material with great training aids. We had an instructor that had only done a few classes and kinda fumbled around a bit but otherwise im glad I went. I have the PMC/Ladder maint course in Jan. and the 16i/18i advanced course in Apr.
Besides the class itself I was glad to get some time away.

JUST AS AL SAID, IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOUR INSTRUCTOR. I RECENTLY ATTENDED THE MANUAL GUIDE i CLASS AND FOUND MYSELF BEING THE INSTRUCTOR. OVERALL IT WAS WORTH IT. BRING PLENTY OF SPENDING MONEY FOR CHICAGO NIGHTLIFE !!

Most Maintenance Is In Chicago Depending On Dates Of Schedule. All Macro Is Now In Chicago I Believe, Along With Pmc,ladder, And Alpha Servo. Actually It Is In Hoffman Estates Just Northwest Of Town.
