Third 2009 Dealer Training Workshops

Regular Sessions:  October 12 - 14 & October 14 - 16

Advanced Aerial Session:  Not being offered

  The third set of 2009 Bergey Dealer Training Workshops will be held in Norman, Oklahoma during the week of October 12 - 16.  Regular sessions will be held Monday, October 12th to Wednesday, October 14th and another starting Wednesday, October 14th and continuing through Friday, October 16th.  Both programs will cover the same material.  We have two sessions in order to keep the class size down for the field work portion.

  The Regular Classes will feature one day of classroom work and two days of field work, and will include a factory tour.  The classroom work will concentrate on the home and farm grid-intertie (AC) market, covering BWC products, site surveys, budgeting, performance and economics, interconnection, and permitting.  The fieldwork will cover tower climbing, the full installation of a 10 kW BWC Excel-S on a 100 ft. Guyed-Lattice Tower and an installation review of a 1 kW BWC XL.1 of an 80 ft. Tilt-up Tower.  Class size is limited to 15 people per session so that every student gets hands-on experience.  Both sessions will receive their classroom work on Wednesday, October 14th. 

  The Workshops are designed for our dealers, but attendance by non-dealers will be considered on a case-by-case basis.  The classroom work will be taught by Mike Bergey, president of Bergey Windpower.  The field work training will be conducted by Pieter Huebner, our award-winning "windsmith".

Training Notebook and CD-ROM

  BWC dealers who have not attended one of our Workshops can purchase the extensive (~ 400 pages) Workshop Notebook & CD-ROM ($75 + shipping) or the CD-ROM alone ($25 + shipping).  The CD-ROM has all the PowerPoint presentation materials from the three day Dealer Training Workshop, a number of other BWC presentations on a wide range of small wind topics, a complete copy of the BWC web site, and hundreds of digital photos.

  Please note that the curriculum was changed in 2007 and the CD has the course-work used through 2006.  It covers domestic and international markets and on-grid and off-grid applications.
