Sentinel Operator Training
Ensure that every Sentinel system delivers the performance it was designed to achieve
A comprehensive blended-learning program that enables crews to operate Sentinel technology confidently, efficiently, and safely.
Blended Learning Curriculum
Sentinel Operator Training combines online learning with face-to-face, instructor-led instruction, so operators build knowledge first and spend hands-on time where it counts.
Online Learning Path: 1L or 3L
Every student completes online training before attending hands-on training. Everyone arrives with the same foundational knowledge, so classroom time can focus on practical application, coaching, and competency development rather than system introduction.
Hands-on Training: Basic & Advanced
After online learning, students meet in person with instructors to apply concepts and gain competency and comfort using Sentinel equipment. Training starts with basic operation and finishes with advanced topics, so each student receives training matched to their role.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sentinel Operator Training?
Sentinel Operator Training is a comprehensive program designed to enable crews to operate Sentinel technology safely, confidently, and efficiently. The course combines complimentary online learning followed by instructor-led, hands-on training so operators can build knowledge and practical skills before facing jobsite pressure.
Initial training for up to six operators is free of charge (travel and related expenses charged separately) with every new Sentinel system, helping customers begin with a competent core team, with additional hands-on training available as teams grow and change.
Why does operator training matter?
Sentinel performance depends on the decisions made behind the controls. Training gives operators the confidence and skill to set up consistently, catch issues early, and respond when conditions change. That protects uptime, labor efficiency, equipment performance, and ROI. Continued training builds troubleshooting capability across the crew, so performance does not depend on a few experienced operators.
Which training is right for my crew?
Basic and Advanced Operator Training are built around the responsibilities each operator carries in the field. Each competency level includes six seats and is priced as a complete session. Basic develops confident day-to-day operators, while Advanced prepares the problem-solvers who keep performance on track when conditions change.
Basic Operator Training
Designed for equipment operators and new Sentinel users responsible for routine cleaning under normal operating conditions. Participants learn how to:
- Prepare, inspect, and configure Sentinel
- Complete standard setup and calibration
- Operate and monitor the system
- Perform basic recovery actions
- Shut down and care for the equipment
- Recognize when additional support is required
Advanced Operator Training
Designed for selected operators responsible for troubleshooting, optimization, and technical decisions. Participants learn how to:
- Diagnose common faults and interruptions
- Recover from failed calibrations and operating issues
- Adjust settings for different applications
- Select appropriate recovery procedures
- Decide when work can safely continue
- Support other Sentinel operators
What does my team gain?
Sentinel Operator Training creates a shared operating standard across the crew. That consistency supports stronger job performance, more efficient use of labor and equipment, and greater customer and asset-owner confidence. As operations expand and personnel change, additional training helps preserve these results and protect the customer’s Sentinel investment.
Upon completing Basic or Advanced Operator Training, participants receive a Certificate of Completion and continued access to complimentary online training library through the StoneAge YouTube channel.
