About the Course

This is tailored for the service contractor who will gain an understanding of how to maintain the equipment at a high level, once the warranty maintenance contract has expired with the Authorized Product Partner. This training class is held at the Smardt facility Bayswater North, Victoria. Whilst Smardt encourages that the maintenance agreement is retained with our product partners to provide and implement the correct maintenance procedures. Smardt acknowledges that there will be times where other service companies will provide preventative maintenance on the Smardt equipment. This course will allow for that situation although it is strongly recommended to engage an authorized Smardt partner to perform the quarterly maintenances.
