DECKHAND® Training - Houston, TX
Recently in Houston, ek pass conducted DECKHAND® training to a new group of users. Most were experienced excavator operators but had not previously worked with the DECKHAND®  system.

The success of the training was evidenced by the final outcome. In the client's words, "The training was extremely productive and had very positive results." The success of this training was further exemplified by the fact that the post-test marks were between 21 - 37 percentage points higher than the
pre-test marks.
