Government Agency FAQ’s
Do you offer Government Specific Training?
The OB 2 and OB 3 classes are designed to accommodate the training needs of both
commercial dealers and government customers. However, we offer training on the MultiFuel Engine models (MFE) and military models in the OB 2 course. We can also offer
this military curriculum in OB 3 if requested. Please speak with your instructor on the first
day of class to arrange.
Will I attain Certified Technician status in the
OB 3 course?
The Certified Technician status is part of a dealer program and is not offered to
government students. For government students who attend OB 3, a certificate of
completion will be granted as long as a minimum standard of participation is
demonstrated.
How will I be billed?
The fee will appear on your Parts & Accessories Account and an invoice will be mailed to
the Government agency address associated with the account number. In addition, the
instructor will provide a paper copy of the invoice during your week of training. Your
