I strongly recommend the NAESAI programs. The above course is only appropriate to people who have what it takes to see value in the offering. (It's an advanced class) The class NAESAI offers does not guarantee that you will pass the test. It requires study, as do the offerings from ASME. People who are in Sales functions might find themselves a bit overwhelmed with some of the technical data if they are not familiar with the subject material, but the ones who have attended have reported to me that it helped them develop more business for their employers. I guess that�s why people are willing to pay the big bucks. They get a return on the investment.
If you are working with limited resources, I strongly recommend the Fire Service Testing by Jim Runyan. Also Elevator world has a great DVD about Traction Elevators.
