At Technical Training Associates, we often receive comments from some of our customers when they call to order another product, or sometimes they just send us an e-mail to let us know what they like about our HVACR training DVD's. Here are some of the comments we've received during phone conversations or via e-mail.
“I just wanted to call to say thanks. I got your Electrical Fundamentals For HVACR Technicians and Using Schematics DVD’s and they really helped me understand electrical troubleshooting.”
-Minnesota
“I want every program you’ve got by Jim Johnson.”

“I just got one of your DVD programs and I like it very much. Please send a price quote so I can order your bundle.”
-Ireland (HVACR Instructor)
“I don’t know how you managed to get that much information into a two-hour program. I use it throughout our entire electrical fundamentals semester.”
-Wisconsin (HVAC Instructor)
“Your schematics DVD goes at a really fast pace, but I can always pause, go back, and see it over again.”
-California
"I'll tell you now that your training modules are an excellent review for technicians in the field as well as those of us who are stuck behind a desk!

"Talk about helpful! I'm a visual learner, and your DVD's not only make it easier for me to understand what I'm reading in the book I'm studying on HVACR, they make me much more comfortable about knowing what to do when I'm troubleshooting."
-Mobile, Alabama (Apartment Maintenance Technician)
"I was afraid that it wouldn't be worth the money, but it was well worth it."
-Kentucky (Student)
"Thank you and I just wanted to let you know that I am loving your DVD's. I am learning lots from them."
-Student
"Jim's video presentations are great! He has a way of explaining systems, components and principles that makes it easier to understand. Another thing I really like is the pace of the sessions. He spends just the right amount of time on a subject and moves on, so you don't ever get bored with endless explanations. These are the best training tapes I have seen."
-Minnesota Technician
"Your materials arrived in good condition today, and they look very good."
-London, England
You'll note that the comments shown above are from people around the United States, as well as from other countries, and that we aren't identifying them by name. That's our usual policy, to keep our customer's names private. But, sometimes we get a note from somebody who wants us to let people know who they are, such as the testimonial we received via e-mail and is listed below exactly as it was written to us:
"I would just like to say that the DVD's I ordered from your website have helped me tremendously. I've been in the business since 1994, starting out as a maintenance technician, cleaning coils, oiling motors, selling add-ons, and maintenance agreements. Nothing technical because I'm really not very mechanically inclined. It was just a means to a paycheck. Eventually I got into service work, but always struggled because of my lack of understanding of the electrical stuff. I was laid off in September 2008 due in part to that lack of knowledge, lack of work (the weather was milder than usual this past summer) high gas prices and the tanking economy. I was determined to stay in the business, so I enrolled in a local votech school to get the training I needed to become more competitive in the job market. While the instructor was very knowledgeable, and I did learn more, I still didn't feel very confident about my abilities. You have to take a lot of notes, not one my strengths! I went on line looking for, and hoping I would find a video source for further training, and I hit a GOLDMINE! with Technical Training Associates. I Immediately ordered all of the videos on electrical because that was where I was having the greatest difficulty. Those videos helped me to "SEE THE LIGHT!" It's like having the instructor in your home, no need for note taking because if you don't understand something the first time around, just replay it until you do. Not only have the videos helped my understanding of the electrical "mysteries", it boosted my confidence right through the roof! I've now been able to apply for jobs and when tested on my knowledge, have gotten calls from 11 different companies offering a position in their service departments making more money that I ever thought I would make. I'm so happy with the electrical videos, that I just ordered the refrigeration videos in the series. Thanks Jim Johnson, you're GOLDEN!"
Very Sincerely, Mac Scalf
We also get letters from technical schools that use our DVD programs as a supplement to their HVACR technician training curriculum, such as...
A note from Jim Johnson about testimonials....
I think that, often, when people read testimonials, two thoughts can come to mind about them....
The first is something along the line of "Heck, they could have just made all that stuff up. How do I know those are from real people?"
Well, I'm here to tell you that we didn't make them up. They're all real comments from real people who bought our stuff. And, I know, I know....I could be just making this up too. Well, either you choose to believe that the comments we've listed here are true, or you choose to believe we just made them up so you would buy something from us. That's your choice.
The second thing that may come to mind for some people about testimonials is something like "Oh yeah, they got some good comments from people, but they're only cherry picking and showing the ones they want to show. They're not going to list the negative comments they got."
Well, we're not showing any negative comments because we haven't received any. We've been producing and selling HVACR training DVD's since 1999 and we've never received a phone call or e-mail, or regular mail letter, from anybody who said they wished they hadn't spent their money on our stuff, and we've never had anybody ask for their money back. On very rare occasions, we get a call from a customer who is having a technical difficulty with a "DVD that won't play" or a "CD that won't read", and, as our guarantee policy states on our home page, we replace any product that won't work right when you receive it. Again...I know I could be just making this up too, but, also, again, it's your choice as to whether you decide to believe me or not.
Our bottom line at TTA is that we want you to be sure you're making the right decision about purchasing any or all of our DVD's. If you've landed here at this paragraph while doing a Google, ask.com, Bing, or other search on the Internet for heating & air-conditioning and refrigeration training DVDs or CDs, I would encourage you to start out on our home page www.technicaltrainingassoc.com and scroll down to the link on HVACR Training DVD's (or, if you want to skip our home page, just go directly to This Link) so you can read about our various DVD titles, see the prices and the run times, and even watch a sample if you want. Also, if you decide to visit our home page, you can click on this link to read more About TTA.
If, after you've read about our company... researched the titles we have listed... read the descriptions... know how long a particular video program you're interested in runs... understand which videos are only a DVD and which of them are packaged with a self-print CD that contains an interactive resource guide... watched our video sample... and read our testimonials, you're still not sure our stuff is worth the money you would be investing in it, I would encourage you to take more time before you make a decision. If you like, you can call us at (520) 625-6847 or send us an e-mail at tta@dakotacom.net and ask a question about our DVD's.
Regards,
Jim Johnson
