WHY CHOOSE JJLSTA?

Increased Productivity

Training increases job knowledge, empowering your technical team to reduce errors, enhance job satisfaction, and perform at the highest level. It also prepares them for a rapidly evolving work environment, honing their problem-solving skills, thereby enabling creative approaches to their daily challenges.

Increased Independence

Despite an increasingly interconnected world, field service professionals often can't rely on immediate assistance and access to remote knowledge. The better trained they are, the better they are at performing diagnostic and corrective procedures without subject matter experts' intervention.

Better Morale

Competence breeds confidence, and confidence boosts morale. Great employees always want to learn more about their trade. The Academy provides the continuous learning and professional development that enables them to advance in your organization and take pride in their progressing prowess.

More versatility

We make our machines the most versatile in the industry. Our Academy seeks to expand your technicians’ scope of practice, so they develop versatility to match, enabling them to confidently command more service functions, minimizing the need for outsourced expertise and thus costs and downtime.

Improved Risk Management

Safety is paramount in our industry. The key is knowing what you’re doing. Documented, world-class training manages risk by empowering your technicians to master maintenance methods that ensure they will be productive, effective, and efficient, while putting safety first, where it belongs.

Instructors were very knowledgeable, they explained everything in detail and moved at a good pace and were willing to go back if needed. This is a good steppingstone to learn more about other equipment and how they operate in the field and for me to be able to advance in my career.

The most growth and knowledge I learned and appreciate is the Hydraulic portion. In all honesty, I never read or looked at a hydraulic schematic. The class taught me things I did not know pertaining to hydraulic. Electrical class took me down to the basics and reminded me of things I forgot.

Basic training is where it all starts. Without basic knowledge you cannot move forward. The teachers made the class fun and enjoyable to learn and understand the fundamentals needed to move forward.
