Who should attend a Gates University Workshop?
The Gates U curriculum was designed for authorized Gates distributors, OEMs, and end users with an intermediate knowledge level and a desire to learn more about Gates products and industry best practices. Beginners or those new to their industry are encouraged to attend, but we recommend brushing up on fundamentals first – in some cases a prerequisite course will be assigned to ensure everyone in the class is starting from the same level.

Some courses have prerequisite requirements to be completed at your convenience prior to the workshop via Gates online Learning Management System (LMS). A free account will be created for you, and further instructions will be sent to the email address used for your RSVP.
The prerequisites exist to ensure that every student starts the class with a similar level of knowledge, allowing us to spend more time on the important things, like hands-on activities!

Hands-on training is a core component of Gates U workshops, and one of the biggest reasons that we host in-person training. Every workshop is designed around hands-on exercises. Our small class sizes ensure that each student will have the opportunity for exercises such as: hydraulic/industrial hose assembly and crimping, hydraulic coupling thread identification, belt drive installation & tensioning, and more!
