A. O. Smith has announced a new product training series, "A. O. Smith Training Tuesdays," to provide contractors and channel partners with free access to weekly online classes. The hour-long shows will be broadcast live at 2 p.m. CST every Tuesday through June 16 at www.university.hotwater.com/live-show. Training sessions will cover various topics, including water conditions, troubleshooting, proper venting, installation tips and more.

The videos will be broadcast via the newly renovated A. O. Smith training facility and will air on the A. O. Smith University website. During the live shows, participants are encouraged to text their questions to a phone number on-screen, and that week's hosts will end the show answering the questions live.

"At A. O. Smith, we're always looking for ways to be a valuable resource for our loyal channel partners. Pairing our team of experts with cutting-edge technology allows us to build richer content and offer real-time educational resources," said Jason Leonard, technical training manager at A. O. Smith. "This new series will provide our partners with expanded knowledge and continued educational opportunities until we can open our doors again for on-site training."

For those who can't make it to the live show, videos will be recorded and housed on the A. O. Smith University website, along with many other product training videos and online certifications.
