Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) February 22, 2006 -- The Petroleum Equipment Institute (PEI) was pleased by the positive interest generated in its online training program during the 2006 Western Petroleum Marketers Convention & C-Store Expo (WPMA) held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The PEI Learning Center is an Internet-based learning program designed to help owners and operators of petroleum storage systems improve their understanding of their equipment. The training is geared toward the owners and operators of gas stations, convenience stores, truck stops, fueling depots-any facility that stores or dispenses automotive fuel.

Attendees at WPMA were particularly impressed with technical aspects of the courses, which consist of streaming video, interactive quizzes and downloadable support material. "This is not just a slide show transferred to a computer. This is like a real training class," were just some of the comments that could be heard by those visiting the booth. Attendees also had positive things to say about the level of understanding achieved by portraying real work situations in the training.

Priced at $79 per course, the Learning Center makes training accessible to the small business owner as well as larger organizations. Courses currently available pertain to automatic tank gauges, single-walled pressure systems, secondary containment and spill/overfill protection. Quantity discounts and customized solutions are also available. To learn more, visit www.pei.org/learn or contact the Petroleum Equipment Institute.
