What happens when your program grows—but your equipment doesn’t?

That was the challenge Alfred State College faced. With more students enrolling in their Heavy Equipment Operation program, limited machine access made it difficult to provide enough hands-on training time—while also maintaining a safe learning environment.

Their solution? Add CM Labs Simulations simulators.

The results were immediate and measurable:

✔ Increased student capacity (growing from ~40 to 100+ students)
✔ Provided consistent, repeatable seat time for every learner
✔ Reduced safety risks for beginners
✔ Improved training efficiency by 20–30%
✔ Enabled performance-based assessment with real data

Simulation didn’t replace real equipment—it enhanced it. Students now build confidence, develop proper techniques, and enter the field better prepared from day one.

If you're looking to expand your program, improve outcomes, or better align with workforce demands, this is a great example of what’s possible.

Jamey is still on the road in Oklahoma and all set up at the Oklahoma PACE Spring Conference!

We’re excited to connect with educators and workforce leaders who are focused on preparing students for high-demand careers. Stop by to explore hands-on training solutions that bring real-world skills into the classroom—from robotics with the FANUC CRX, to portable Amatrol training systems, to immersive medical simulation with TacMed.

If you're attending, make sure to swing by and see what’s new, ask questions, and experience the equipment firsthand.

📍 Oklahoma PACE Spring Conference
🤝 Let’s talk about building stronger training programs together

Jamey is on the road in Oklahoma with the Tech-Labs demo van—bringing high-impact, hands-on training directly to you. 🚐

This stop is all about three powerful training solutions:

🤖 FANUC CRX Collaborative Robot
See how easy it is to program, integrate, and deploy collaborative robotics for real-world automation applications.

🧰 Amatrol Portable Trainers
Flexible, compact systems that deliver industry-aligned skills training in electrical, automation, and more—perfect for classrooms, labs, or mobile learning environments.

🚑 TacMed Simulation Training
Realistic medical training simulators that prepare students and professionals for critical, high-pressure situations.

Whether you're building a new program or enhancing an existing one, this mobile demo brings the technology—and the experience—right to your doorstep.

Throwback to when Garry Tomerlin, Ed. D. was hosting webinars straight from our Solutions Center in Katy, Texas.

Even during uncertain times, the mission stayed the same—bring hands-on technical training to instructors, students, and industry partners wherever they were. Surrounded by Amatrol equipment, Garry delivered real-world insights that helped programs keep moving forward.

Today, we’re still committed to making training accessible—whether that’s onsite, in the classroom, or through virtual sessions.

💡 What topics would you like to see in an upcoming webinar?
Automation? Electrical systems? Industry 4.0? Simulation training? Something else?

Let us know—we’d love to build something around your needs.

The use of drones in industry continues to grow, and students need a strong foundation in the safe, legal, and effective operation of UAVs.

The MINDS-i FAA Part 107 Certification Prep Course helps learners build knowledge in regulations, airspace, weather, safety, and flight operations while preparing for the FAA Part 107 exam.

This 45-hour course is a strong fit for STEM, aviation, and CTE programs looking to support drone career pathways.
