As a result of COVID-19, most classes shifted to a virtual learning format. Our state-of-the-art broadcast studio located in Ashland City, Tennessee, gave instructors the ability to provide real-time, full-scope demonstrations on a range of A. O. Smith products, so attendees could continue receiving the benefits of hands-on training in a virtual environment

“At  A. O. Smith University, we continue to emphasize the value of virtual learning. We know that flexibility is important for technicians, contractors and product representatives, and the online learning environment supports that need,” said Jason Leonard, marketing technology and training manager at A. O. Smith. “This month, we’re focusing on our tankless products, along with our commercial and residential gas and electric product lines.”

A. O. Smith has two state-of-the-art training facilities, one in Ashland City and the other in Johnson City, Tennessee, which both held primarily virtual training sessions this past year and a half with more than 100,000 combined participants. Both facilities are equipped to train technicians, contractors, and product representatives on a variety of products and topics.

Classes are taught on a two-way meeting platform, and there is a 50-person cap placed on all sessions to ensure participants have a high-level of engagement with instructors, as well as the opportunity to ask questions.
