GPRS prides itself on our training program. It includes a 2-3 month apprenticeship system inclusive of hands-on field training and classroom teaching. Further, we ascribe to the scanning practices and methodologies laid out in SIM. Lastly, GPRS is committed to providing ongoing training for our team members to continue to advance in their field skill sets. This is accomplished through online curriculums, onsite training from Area Managers, and other various methods for quality control. When hiring a scanning and underground utility locating company for your job site, it is imperative that you understand the training and education that individual has received – it could be the difference between a line strike or not.

Given the rapid expansion of the scanning and locating industry, finding companies and technicians with true job site expertise and experience can be difficult. From day one, GPRS technicians have a group of local colleagues and team members who represent a combined level of experience and expertise that is unmatched by our competitors. On average, a GPRS technician will visit over 250 individual job sites during one year of employment. The designated area technicians and the project experience of our team members offer needed context for successfully interpreting the results and findings from your job site. Be sure to consider the expertise and experience of the local GPR company you are considering hiring and don’t be afraid to ask for the training certificate and program outline.
