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.
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.

The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
Everyone starts out not knowing everything so when in doubt ask.
Even i still ask questions.

I went to Richmond about four years ago. Thats where I would go, you will get to meet alot of the Tridium guys there.
Go Rangers!
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.
nothing too it. i wasn't worried at all about the test.

We have freedom because somebody fought for it.
We keep it because we are willing to fight for it.
We lose it because we are not willing to fight for it.
Damn!!!! I think the test took me almost 9 hrs. Got a real good score though.

Went to Richmond as well. I think it is a must.
He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes. He who does not ask any questions is a fool forever.
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.
Thanks for your replies..
I currently work for a local school and need to learn more about ddc controls and software but i'm very green so i hope i am not jumping in to deep to get started. I currently have honeywell controllers(W7750 C2001controllers)
and UNC410-1 front ends on a lon network but have been doing alot of studing of articles found on the internet.....

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!
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
