On-site Training:

AFSI offers training at our location in Allen, Texas, according to your schedule. Our expert trainers provide classroom instruction in a well-equipped, modern training facility. Hands-on lab activities support the classroom instruction and allow one-on-one interaction and guidance from the instructor.

Mobile Training:

AFSI provides mobile training at customer-specified locations for up to eight students. We can tailor our training for larger class sizes. Mobile training minimizes travel for the class and reduces your costs. In addition, students learn in their own environment, allowing them to apply the training more quickly. AFSI offers flexible scheduling and can perform the training during normal business hours or “after hours.”
