Reduced class sizes to six students per session will allow for more "hands on" experiences, while the curriculum itself has been expanded to include full-day courses for more in-depth training. New to the curriculum is a full day training course on the 10,000 hour maintenance interval, and training "tracks" will provide a focus on the training specifically needed to support engineers and mechanical contractors.
