I was fairly comfortable with ACES knowledge going into the training but my knowledge and experience with PIES was more limited. The PIES Lesson did a very good job of detailing the different aspects of a PIES file as well as the appropriate subsections. All of this helped me feel more comfortable when discussing ACES and PIES files both inside and outside my company

The ACES® and PIES™ e-learning course was an excellent way for me to brush up on my existing ACES knowledge and discover a few things I may not have been aware of yet. This course also helped me learn more about best practices for creating PIES content and be aware of the do’s and don’ts with PIES. I feel more confident in my knowledge of how ACES and PIES work and interact with each other. As a result, Highline Warren’s filtration data will be cleaner and more accurate than ever before.

This course helped to provide further detail and clarity into the ACES and PIES standards and structure to help round out the knowledge and experience I had prior to it. It helped shape my fundamental understanding of the data standards.
