To begin training on equipment, you must complete this safety class and have a Coral account. Training is equipment-specific, and may be arranged by contacting the SNF staff listed <here>. Technical Liaisons are available to discuss process flow and materials issues -- this is helpful in determining which pieces of equipment may be most appropriate for your needs. Information about process capabilities and materials compatibilities for each tool is also available on this SNF website.

Understand that due to equipment and staff availability, some training sessions may take some time to arrange; thus, advance planning is very important. If you need to cancel, please try to do so at least two days in advance of your scheduled training session ("No shows" may be subject to a charge of one hour of equipment and technician time.)

Please also be realistic in your expectations. The amount of time it takes to become trained on a piece of equipment will vary widely -- it will depend on the complexity of the tool and the process, as well as your own experience. Once the trainer is fully satisfied with your knowledge and ability, you will be added to the "qualified users" list, granting Coral privileges, which allow you to use this equipment.
