I recently finished the Advanced Racquet Stringing course offered by IART. I found the course very good. Actually, having attended IART Symposiums in the past this was almost like attending one. The upside to taking this course is you can get every lesson offered instead of having to pick and choose classes. All the modules are carefully presented and flow nicely from beginning to end. I’ve been stringing for many years, and I suppose you could say that I’m very set in my ways. But this course kept my attention, and I couldn’t wait to get to the next module after finishing the previous one. You never stop learning!
I used information I learned this past week dealing with a customer and I was able to explain the issue in a way which made me stand out as a professional. I have a customer that will be coming back with more business! Did I say, “Value Added”? Thank you IART. To anyone that signs up for this course you will find great instructions, tips, and ideas that will make you a better stringer. From beginning to end you will absorb valuable knowledge regarding machines and tools, string, stringing tips, patterns, tools, plus merchandising and customer relations. The videos are a wonderful addition to further the written lessons, and I strongly recommend to anyone taking the course to take the time to view them all. Not only do they add to the written lessons, but you will probably learn additional things just from watching. The test questions were prepared from each module and thought provoking. Study the module and read the test questions (maybe twice) and think before you answer. Actually, the questions are there to make you think and that’s all part of the learning process.
Thank you, Tim, for your efforts to help make us all better in our stringing business.
