The online course, which is sponsored by Mitsubishi Electric, will be outlined in a special webinar this Tuesday, December 1, when BESA Academy’s Helen Yeulet will explain the process involved. Mitsubishi’s Mark Grayston will explain why Mitsubishi are supporting this process, and the chair and vice-chair of BESA’s RACHP Group, Jason Canning and Richard Merritt, will provide the contractors’ perspective on online training.
