GLENDORA, Calif. (June

irrigation professionals today are our front-line protectors
for our precious water resources. Those in the irrigation
system industry must have a wide variety of product and
business knowledge in order to work for and run successful
irrigation businesses.
Recognizing the expanding roles of those involved in specifying,
designing, installing and running today’s complex irrigation
systems, Rain Bird Academy invites irrigation professionals

Vista Drive in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Those who would benefit
from this training include irrigation contractors, system
designers, distributors, technicians, landscape architects,
irrigation managers from public agencies and irrigation business
owners.
Courses taught by Irrigation Industry Certified Trainers

insightful information for those irrigation professionals
and business owners wanting to learn more about financial
management, profitable job estimating and customer selling
skills.

today’s central controller systems. Participants

and product troubleshooting as well as intelligent water
management.
Irrigation professionals can choose from one to four days
of training with instructors who conduct one of the most
respected and comprehensive training experiences in the irrigation
industry. Specific “education tracks” on drip
products and design, irrigation design, contractor business
