Training and Education
High Tech Services offers training classes for person's responsible for the operation and maintenance of Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detectors. These courses are designed for everyone from the beginner to the experienced user. We begin with theory and procedures in the classroom and end with hands on leak testing in the shop with working leak detectors and real time testing. We will also tailor the training to include the customer's equipment and type of testing. Training can be provided either at our facility in Richardson, Texas or at the customer's site.
SHORT COURSE
High Tech Services offers a one day short course in vacuum technology and leak testing. We recommend this course for operators, Technicians, and engineers that are new to vacuum equipment. It is also a good refresher course for people that have been away from the equipment for awhile. All materials and manuals are included and the trainee will receive a certificate upon completion of the course. This course can be taught at your site or at our facility and is designed for six to eight people in attendance. The cost for this course is $250.00 per person with a minimum of 4 people. The following is an outline of the course.

4 DAY TRAINING COURSE
High Tech Services offers a four day in-depth course in vacuum technology and leak testing. We recommend this course for technicians and engineers that have to use vacuum and leak detection equipment on a continuing basis. It is also a good refresher course for persons that have been away from the equipment for a while. The course can be taught at your site or at our facilities and is designed for six to eight people in attendance. This course satisfies the requirements for ASNT (SNT-TC-1A) and ASTM-E498. All manuals and materials are included and the trainee will receive a Level II Certification upon successful completion of the course. The cost for this course is $750.00 per person, with a minimum of 5 people. The following is an outline of the course.
