STI Electronics, Inc., a full service organization providing training resources, analytical/failure analysis, prototyping, and small-to-medium volume PCB assembly, announces new offerings and options for its Training Services.
STI realizes that many potential students have schedules or commitments that prevent them from attending classes with a traditional 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday schedule. With this in mind, STI is now offering some of its training programs on nights and weekends at its Florida training centers. These classes still maintain the required class hours, but the hours are 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on weekdays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
