Continuing Education Short Courses & Webinars
CPULD is pleased to offer educational programs that specialize in training the employees of our target industries. Most of our courses last 2-3 full days and focus on how to save money and increase the safety through better pallet, packaging, and unit load design.
These courses are taught by educational professionals with close ties to the industry and by industry professionals themselves. Most courses are held on the beautiful Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg, VA and include tours of our state of the art laboratories, which are here on-site.
We are always in the process of developing specialized programs to fit specific educational needs. Contact us with any questions about our current short courses or requests for specific topics you'd like to see courses offered about in the future!
