“CAS America has had a solid working relationship with Stiles Education since
1995. Many of our employees have benefited from the training programs provided
by Stiles Education. One of the most significant contributions to our ability to digest
the new technologies is found in our ability to build a front line of defense to deal
‘in-house’ with machine down time and on-going M&R. By having a well trained
in-house person we have saved many thousands of dollars over the years.”
– Joseph Cannon Jr., Owner, CAS America Inc.
“We have had more than 30 associates attend Stiles training on a wide variety of
topics and equipment, and have always been impressed with the quality of the
training they have received. The training is professionally done, thorough, and
conducted by knowledgeable instructors.”
– Michael Fedrigo, VP of Operations, Nucraft Furniture Co.
“When buying new machinery, we always consider an organization’s level of support
and service. The Stiles Education program has always been a great ‘bonus’ to any
purchase. Once you attend a Stiles Class, you really understand how important it
is to be trained by their professionals.”
– Mike Twyford, Vice President, K & Z Cabinet Co Inc.
“Northway Industries Inc. has worked with Stiles Education for a number of years
utilizing them to train our employees on some of the following software and
machinery which has allowed us to achieve a faster start up and good quality in
a very short time frame. We had customized, onsite training at Northway for our
employees which again shortened our start up time and enabled us to produce new
products we were unable to produce previously. We have gained new customers
due to this equipment and the training we received. We look forward to working
with Stiles Education in the future to train our employees and continue to stay on
the leading edge of technology.”
– Bob Portzline, V.P./Special Projects, Northway Industries, Inc.
“The course did help me understand the machine better. The hands on approach
with machines onsite and simulators were great. I really enjoyed my experience at
Stiles and hope to take more classes in the future.”
– Mike Skwarek, R T London Co., EB102, January 2009

Benefits of Certified Training
We continue to strive to offer the very best training experience. Along with being
proud of the number of students we have educated, Stiles Education continues to
be the only training center in our industry to offer accredited classes that exceed
the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET).
Stiles Education has been approved as an Authorized
Provider by the International Association for Continuing
Education and Training (IACET), 1760 Old Meadow Rd, Suite
500, McLean, VA 22102. In obtaining this approval, Stiles
Education has demonstrated that it complies with the ANSI/
IACET 1-2007 Standard which is widely recognized as the
standard of good practice internationally. As a result of their
Authorized Provider membership status, Stiles Education is
authorized to offer IACET CEUs for its programs that qualify
under the ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard.
Stiles Education also provides training that is in compliance
with the skill standards as developed by the Wood Career
Alliance (WCA) of North America. The WCA skill standards
were developed as a way for employers, employees and
educational institutions to determine what level a worker
should execute tool and machinery setup, operation and
troubleshooting. The WCA icon specifies the classes aligned
with these standards.
Stiles Education is recognized by the Homag Group of Schopfloch, Germany. Of
Homag’s 19 sales partners throughout the world, Stiles is one of the first distributors
to earn this international honor. Stiles received this distinction by meeting standards
on training center management, depth and quality of curriculum as well as the
proven abilities of the teaching faculty.

International Tour of Technology
In 1993, Stiles introduced the international tour of technology as an opportunity
to observe leading-edge solutions. Since its inception, over 900 woodworkers
from all sectors of the industry and all regions of the US have participated in this
experience.
Tours have included visits to small family-owned shops, large manufacturing
facilities and everything in between. Focusing on specific production capabilities
combined with innovations in automation, products and processes range from
the cabinet industry to office furniture, to fixtures and millwork plants. The tour
visits some of the world’s most innovative, efficient and productive facilities. What
might seem futuristic today will be the industry standard tomorrow. Tour attendees
gain insights on ways to make their business more successful by observing best
practices from global influences.

e-learning
Unlike traditional classroom studies, e-learning is a course or program where
the students rarely or never meet face-to-face, nor access educational facilities,
because they study online and/or with a computer. This approach offers many
benefits, including elimination of travel expenses and reduction in lost labor due
to time away from the job.
Computer-Based Training
Computer-Based Training (CBT) is a “Work at Your Own Pace” course that
allows the student to increase their knowledge when their schedule allows. This
type of training is available at any time and at any location with a multimedia
capable PC. Stiles Education offers several CBT modules designed to advance
the skills learned in the traditional instructor-led courses. Interactive exercises
and simulations clarify topics and allow the student to practice skills and review
critical concepts when needed.
Stiles Education CBT courses include:
• EB075 Electrical Maintenance for Brandt Edgebanders - CBT (see page 29)
• MC095E woodNest Basic - CBT (see page 24)

Stiles Online Training Sessions (Webinars)
Online training sessions, or webinars, provide instruction on specific topics. All
you need is a computer with an internet connection and phone to conduct an
interactive course between the student(s) and the instructor. A typical online
training session is a live, internet-based course. The instructor lectures and
illustrates with examples while students complete exercises based on real
production process. Students can ask questions during the session and the
instructor will explain and demonstrate how to perform the tasks. Students can
also participate in group discussions.
Visit www.stilesmachinery.com/se to see a list of webinar topics. Customized
webinars are also available.
Courses on CD-ROM
Stiles Education partnered with New Standard Institute and Simutech Multimedia
Inc. to expand e-learning course topics. These CD-ROM courses offer the same
level of professional training and convenience as our CBTs.
