March 17, 2025 – March 18, 2025

We launched Betson Technical University as part of our commitment to helping our FEC’s be successful. A key component of a successful Family Entertainment Center (FEC) is amusement equipment support because broken equipment means you aren’t generating revenue.

Our skilled, experienced in-house technicians conduct the training, sharing their knowledge, experience and best practices. These two-day courses provide extensive family entertainment center training for all position levels. Whether you are an Owner or GM with years of experience, or brand new to the industry, everyone takes something away from our two-day courses.
