SUMMARY:2026 QCS Meter Technician Training School (MTTS)
DESCRIPTION:Quality Certification Services Inc. (QCS) will be conducting the next Meter Technician Training School (MTTS) July 28-30\, 2026 in Ithaca\, NY\, hosted by Dairy One Cooperative Inc. \nThis school will provide training in the maintenance\, operation\, and calibration of all certified portable milk meters. It is an excellent opportunity for meter technicians\, both new and experienced\, to refine their meter care skills and network with other meter technicians. The MTTS provides classroom instruction and hands-on work with various milk meters. \nDairy One Cooperative Inc. Stationary and Portable Meter Centers will be used\, with training in standard-flow\, dual-meter\, and fast-flow calibration procedures on all meter models along with refreshers on the weight-test method. In addition\, working with on-farm meters & samplers and new developments in milk weighing and sampling will be covered. \nMake plans to attend a MTTS to retain your certification. The auditing guidelines require a meter technician must attend a meter technician training school once every five years to retain certification. The QCS website (www.qcs.us) has a current list of all certified meter technicians and the last MTTS attended. \nPlease note that attendance is limited to ensure an effective class size. QCS is committed to provide this educational opportunity for meter technicians each year in a different geographic region of the country. In addition to training and support from QCS and manufacturer representatives\, QCS will be providing instructional service and calibration activities\, focusing on meter center design and upkeep\, and effectively managing parts and replacement costs. \nDates: July 28-30\, 2026\nLocation: Dairy One Cooperative Inc.\, 730 Warren Road\, Ithaca NY\nHotel: More Information Coming Soon – Hotel reservations will need to be made directly with the hotel. A block of rooms will be reserved for attendees. When making reservations\, please ask for the Dairy One group rate. \nThe school will begin on Tuesday noon and finish at noon on Thursday to ensure adequate travel time for those attendees. A complete schedule will be available early in 2026. Registration is $360 and will include (with the support of our partners) meter technician manual\, breaks\, lunches\, and dinners. Travel\, hotels\, breakfast and incidental expenses are the responsibility of the attendee. \nRegistration is due on July 1\, 2026\, with class size limited and available on a first-come first-served basis. \nDownload information sheet.
