NAOHSM’s mission is Education. At most chapter meetings you’ll find the chapters have a speaker included as part of their agenda. Chapters are encouraged to sponsor educational programs throughout the year and National supports that effort with an Educational Subsidy reimbursement program.
At our Annual Convention and Trade Show, our education committee offers various training for both technicians and owners/managers.
PROSMA
National has developed a Management Program, PROSMA or Professional Service Managers Academy. This program has been designed and is delivered by Penn State University. It is an excellent program for lead technicians, supervisors and managers and aspiring managers and owners. To graduate from this program with a Certificate in Service Management from Penn State and NORA, a student needs to complete four (4) core courses and two (2) electives. The program is designed for the busy employee. He or she can enter the program at any time and take as long as they wish to complete. Take a moment and see what each class has to offer.
Training Trainers continues to be the focus in 2009 and 2010. NAOHSM along with the support of NORA has delivered another Train-the-Trainer class in 2009 and another will be delivered in 2010. Anyone that conducts technical training sessions for their employees, teaches at local technical school or college will benefit from this evolving program
Stand-alone Training Classes – the Train-the-Trainer program is evolving into a series of 1-day specific topic programs. 2009 the Year of the ECM Motor and 2010 Field Controls put together a program titled, Energy Efficiency Training
New High School Textbook – NAOHSM volunteers launched the new introductory book, "Introduction to Oilheat"
New Online MicroLessons offered by Penn State
This year we’ve added more online classes and made them more affordable. For the price of $30.00, you can take a host of new classes. Plus, if you are enrolled in the PROSMA program you can pick any two of the classes and it will satisfy an elective.
Annual On-the-Road Seminars – each year we will hit the road with an important industry topic – 2007 the NORA Tank Certification Program, 2008 Customer Service Program, 2009 ECM Motor Technology.
Benefit Seminar
To support Oil Heat Cares, we we continually host seminars. This past year we held 2 benefits seminars and plan a special one in Key West, FL in October.
