I have been to it and to be honest at the time I was fairly new to buses I would say it was middle of the road as far as training goes , although I think now I would go with a lot more questions about certain diagnostics and systems that would benefit me greatly being able get answers to questions I have after working on them roughly 5 years now . Some of the classes were a waste of time , some were not , I believe they do have a next step up in classes after the initial ic university training that may be where you want to go if you have already been to these tulsa classes , I happened to find out looking at a paper on the foremans desk and asked about going .

I've never been (and don't own an IC) but if they are paying for it then I'd go. Never a bad idea to learn more.

IC bus seven years ago; No gas engines, no propane engines, no Cummins, no stability controls, no Procision trans option, complete change in hydraulic brake system.....

Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback

What has been said is correct, IC will not pay for your travel. You might see if your dealer will. I guess it would depend on how badly they want/need your business. Fleet size would be the deciding factor, I suppose.

I was really hoping to go, got offered it by my boss.... Then when I told him I for sure could, he came back and said that they couldn't send me due to financial constraints :(
