Education/Training

Skip began his career installing and servicing radiation therapy and diagnostic ultrasound imaging equipment for Varian Associates (currently Varian Medical Systems). Subsequent to that, he served as a field service trainer for Varian, Philips Medical Systems, and Toshiba America Medical Systems. Currently he is a one-person training department for Celerity Inc., a provider of chemical gas flow control equipment for semiconductor manufacturers. U.S. Navy schools prepared him for his career in electronics and he served as a U.S. Navy Instructor. He has demonstrated the ability to cut training course length from 30% to 50%, using Criterion Referenced Instruction techniques, and considers CRI to be the most effective and cost effective approach to training development. He believes that it can greatly boost the career of any trainer and the effectiveness of any training organization. CRI can be explored further at www.cepworldwide.com .
