IMPROVING UNIT TURNOVERS: The Complete Process THIS TSA TRAINING WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED FOR:
When a resident leaves an apartment or house that has to be occupied by a new family, many things need to be done to that unit. In most cases, the property has not been left in the same condition in which it was found, and sometimes, Maintenance staff members must deal with heavy damages and vandalism. In the least, Maintenance staff must do substantial cleaning, preventive maintenance, painting, and a variety of repairs in order to make the unit ready for the next renters. Participants at this workshop will learn how to perform a thorough, efficient, and complete turnover of a rental unit. They will learn how to assess the premises, determine the time needed to turn the unit, and the amount of labor needed to make it happen. They will also learn a variety of cleaning procedures, as well as the most common maintenance repairs encountered in vacated units. Each participant will use a detailed workbook throughout the training that explains how to perform the cleaning and maintenance work included in the workshop. These will be theirs to keep, which they can later use on the job as reference. TSA certificates will be presented to everyone who attends.

Residential Carpentry can be separated into two types of work: ROUGH CARPENTRY, which is working with framing members, usually made of pine, and FINISH CARPENTRY, which involves working with smaller "trim" pieces that can be made of several different materials. This TSA workshop will focus on all the carpentry skills and finishing methods needed to be able to trim and finish a house. From windows and doors, to ceilings and floors, participants will learn how to measure, cut, attach, and finish trim throughout a building. Additionally, we will demonstrate how to attach several types of wallboard, including Bead Board and FRP, and the special trim pieces that are used with each material. This workshop, like all of our "hands-on" classes, gives participants ample time to work with tools that are new to them, and to practice newly acquired skills. Though TSA "hands-on" workshops must be limited in size due to the personalized nature of the training, it is the "hands-on" approach that continually receives excellent revues from workshop participants. The skills taught in this "Hands-on" Finish Carpentry & Trim Work training session can eventually be expanded to other specialties such as Cabinetry, Flooring, Stair Railings, Custom Furniture, and Picture Framing. All tools will be provided for both of this workshop.

Techniques of the Painting Trade Workshop THIS TSA TRAINING WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED FOR:
Any Maintenance Department, Renovation Department or Construction Department has staff who hold the responsibility of painting as part or all of their jobs.

Understanding the Newest Updates to the 2005 National Electrical Code THIS TSA TRAINING WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED FOR:
The NEC Book is like a dictionary or reference book. It is very important when you need an answer because electrical work must be performed in accordance with NEC requirements. There are nearly 400 changes contained in the updated "2005 National Electrical Code", and understanding those updates is critical. Many of the newest updates apply to electrical work that is being done in Facility Maintenance, Small Construction, and Renovation Projects, with SAFETY being the number one priority emphasized. By law, every organization, and especially Facility Management and Maintenance Departments, must have at least one person in the Department who understands the National Electrical Code, and the updates to it, and that person must be able to look up code requirements and interpret them for the department. This TSA workshop was developed in response to the many requests for a training session that explains the changes in the most commonly used sections of the National Electrical Code. The goal of the workshop is to familiarize participants with the National Electrical Code Book, and its updates so that there is less intimidation when using it. We will focus on the newest NEC updates that affect wiring methods, wiring materials, and grounding. The workshop will focus on Chapters 2 and 3 of the 2005 NEC Book, with emphasis on those code changes most common to Housing, Institutional and Commercial Maintenance and Installation. Workshop participants will become familiar with the terminology in the NEC Book, and they will learn how to recognize changes to the 2008 NEC. They will also learn how to develop a process for finding answers to Code questions. Participants will be guided step-by-step through the NEC Code Book so that they will understand the updates in a simple, non-threatening way under the instruction of the workshop leader, who is an experienced career electrician, and who is noted for making complex subjects easy and fun.

"Hands-on" Electrical &
Plumbing Workshop: PART 2
THIS TSA TRAINING WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED FOR:
This workshop is Part 2 in a 4-part series on Residential Plumbing & Electrical Maintenance. Parts 1 & 2 have been designed to be taken together as a series, and many workshop participants find it more beneficial to attend both of these back-to-back during the same week of training.

Everyone will have "hands-on" opportunities to perform many of the agenda topics, all done in a non-threatening way under the supervision of our skilled and experienced workshop leader.

Security Management Training: PART 2 (The Security Survey) THIS TSA TRAINING WORKSHOP IS DESIGNED FOR:
This
TSA workshop agenda has been structured to teach Security Managers how to
perform their jobs at optimum levels. The workshop will focus on participants
learning how to develop a step-by-step Security Survey to identify within their
organizations the most significant loss exposure and its susceptibility to
criminal activity. Experience has
demonstrated that an organization’s security preparedness must be reviewed and
tested in order to ensure their procedures are productive. The goal of a
Security Manager charged with protecting his or her company’s assets is to
proactively identify those risks that may disrupt operational effectiveness. In
order to accomplish this, the security manager should conduct a critical on-site
examination and analysis (survey) of his or her organization to ascertain the
actual current security status. This can be accomplished by utilizing a survey,
which identifies deficiencies that determine the level of protection required.
A properly documented security survey will provide background information
that will normally support what a security executive advocates. The survey will also provide justification for the expense of
implementing recommendations. To find out WHEN and WHERE this training workshop will be presented next, click the highlighted 2008 Training Schedule below. Questions ... Contact Bill Cogley, TSA DirectorPHONE: 520.297.3868 FAX: 520.297.2322 EMAIL: tsa@trainingservicesassoc.com |
