Coleman® Moves Library of ProficienTECH Training Materials Online

NORMAN, OKLA. – (January 16, 2009) – Coleman® Heating and Air Conditioning (www.switchtocolemanac.com [1]) recently moved its entire library of ProficienTECH training materials online. 

“Liberties™ Plus dealers now have access all of the training video previously released as DVDs and the accompanying software for Windows by visiting the Media Center on the Johnson Controls Unitary Products Technical site,” explained Scott Nelmark, training services manager for Johnson Controls. “And for dealers who use mobile devices, iDevice Central will provide the ProficienTECH library in a mobile-friendly format designed for the iPod Classic, Touch and Nano. In effect, technicians can carry an entire library of video training in their pockets.” 

ProficienTECH online training enables registered Coleman Liberties dealers to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule, 24/7. Each of the four sessions that have been offered include DVDs, accompanying software for Windows and an array of materials that describe Coleman air conditioners, 40-inch modulating gas furnaces, heat pumps, 33-inch single-stage gas furnaces and 33-inch modulating gas furnaces. 

As they complete the courses, dealers are exposed to installation instructions, technical guides, user’s guides, parts lists, troubleshooting flowcharts and startup information to provide a thorough understanding of component operation. Each session is narrated with full audio and user-controlled features. Dealers are able to check their skills as they advance through a course and are required to take an online exam at the conclusion of each program. 

The Liberties Program provides a host of other cost-effective services designed to help participating dealers manage their businesses. Features of the program include special leasing options, financial programs, professionally designed sales and marketing tools, training programs and employee benefits.

HVAC products from Johnson Controls, Inc., marketed under the well-known Coleman® brand, include highly reliable residential central air-conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces and accessories and light-commercial, packaged heating and cooling systems marketed through a network of distributors and delivered to home- and building-owners through independent Coleman heating and air conditioning dealers.
