Has anyone here been to tridium university at Richmond or the training center in California?

Do you recommend it or training simular near alabama?

Thanks for you time.

Was in Richmond in November. I would recommend it. You will be taught a lot and be lucky if you remember half of it. Be sure you go with your head screwed on tight. Its an intense week.

I went to Richmond about four years ago. Thats where I would go, you will get to meet alot of the Tridium guys there.

I also went to Richmond, Gerard Huff taught my class. He made the class fun but as the post above said, the week is very intense.

I went in 2001, very good class. I remember my test taking about 8 hours, it was tough. Almost as tough as my NICET Level II test.

Went to San Ramon, CA with Gerard teaching... EXCELLENT!
Make sure you do the CBT BEFORE arriving or you are a day behind on the first day!

I showed up on that Friday at 9 am. Took me an hour and ten min's. I was going to leave but Gerard said he would grade my test, glad I did lunch was great that day.

Damn GregF!! It took me longer than that to read the directions.

Funny story, Tridium messed up the PO and when I got there (in LA) we had to figure out what happened. It was after lunch before I got into class and I was number 13. They only do 12 so I had no controls to work with. The next day I brought in my own and away I went. I gave Gerard a boolean to enum block and it helped. The only reason he graded me in class was because it was my equipment, no back up. By the way every body builds the test the afternoon be fore.

That sounds like a much different situation than what we had. Before Friday there was no hint of what was on the test. I think there was something like 12 pages of instructions.

I agree with the statement about being sure to do the CBT before going. That really made a big difference for me.

Unless you have a decent amount of control experience I would say that starting with Tridium might be like learning how to swim by 'jumping into the deep end of the pool'. Almost everything on the test is covered in the class so if you can keep pace with the class the test should be manageable.

Thanks for the info but as far as controls i know very little.

I have a Associate degree in HVACR and have been in the hvacr industry` for ten years but have only been around controls at our schools for 15 months and i didn't know where to start so this is why i ask you guys... Thanks again
