The AAON Technical Academy has updated its training curriculum to provide a more streamlined and comprehensive learning experience.

**What's changing?  
****Package Unit Startup** has been renamed **Introduction to Controls & Commissioning** to better reflect the course content.

**Introduction to Controls & Commissioning** is now a **prerequisite** for **Controls 1** (or students must have previously completed the VCCX-454 Startup class).

These changes reduce overlap between courses and allow for more in-depth training on AAON controls, commissioning, and sequences of operation.

**Course Overview  
****Introduction to Controls & Commissioning (Tulsa, OK):** Covers the fundamentals of starting up, configuring, testing, and commissioning AAON packaged units using Prism II software and VCCX controls.

**Controls 1 (Kansas City, MO):** Builds on those fundamentals with advanced configuration, troubleshooting, and application-specific training for the AAON VCCX Control System.
