Frank Smits as our new Trainer
We also are happy to introduce Frank Smits as our new Trainer for most of these packages. Frank is working on a contract bases for Fluke Calibration and he will give a short introduction of himself below.
Frank Smits started in the early nineties in the service and maintenance of electrical installations. He served for 12 years as chairman and later as board member of the Department of Management & Inspections at ‘Techniek Nederland’ and founder of the joint sector organization NVIB in which he was the driving force behind the structure and quality in installation inspections. At the start of the Parkstad Inspections company in 2002, he already had extensive knowledge and experience of electrical installations. With the acquisition of the inspection and energy advisory services division of Essent in 2011, the company expanded considerably. In 2018 he decided to take it slower. He sold his share of Parkstad Inspections at the end of that year but remained active for the organization as a consultant and trainer for Parkstad Inspections itself.
