For over a decade, Port Technical Services’ training division Port Technical Training Institute (PTTI) has conducted technical training tailored specifically for port mechanics. The program offers training from the most basic maintenance fundamentals to the most advanced technology used in our industry. PTTI training programs emphasize skills improvement, diagnostics and troubleshooting, structured training by shop or position, and post-training support. In addition to classroom instruction, hands-on training is a major part of each course.
Measurable benefits accrue as a result of enhanced technical training. You can expect to experience reduced parts consumption and less equipment downtime. Additionally, you’ll see improved mechanic productivity, better repair quality, and improved safety in your operation.
More than 2,800 students from major port employers logging over 100,000 training hours have successfully completed PTTI courses from beginner to advanced in the following fields:
• Electrical
• Hydraulics
• Diesel/Automotive
• Welding /Welding Gas Handling
• Refrigeration
• Container/chassis inspection & repair
• Rigging
Training courses typically run between 1 and 8 days in length at our New Jersey training facility for local students. Longer courses are held one day per week to balance training and regular work responsibilities. For out of town students, courses can be structured on a weekly basis at our facility or we can come to you. Each student typically receives a textbook, custom informational binder and all the critical tools and safety equipment needed for training, which can be taken back to the job after training.
This training is typically performed at your facility and includes classroom and hands-on instruction on your equipment. Refresher training is also performed. Instruction focus is on safety, equipment familiarity and skill improvement. Training documentation provided includes testing results, hands-on training results and certification paperwork.
