Training Note - As of January 1, 2010, Generac will no longer offer the 2-day Controls class.  This means that there will not be any H Panel training available unless the 2-day Commercial 1 Class (which will focus on the R Panel) is taken, followed by the 5-day Commercial 2 class (which covers the H Panel among other things).  This Controls class does not offer the Genlink DCP program but will allow for training on the H Panel and the HTS transfer switch.  This will allow for the ability to do a standard start -up on these units, along with R Panel product.  The 5-day Commercial 2 class will train on the Genlink DCP program.
