Betson Technical University

 The #1 Family Entertainment Center Technical Training Program 

An Investment
in Your People

We launched Betson Technical University as part of our commitment to helping our arcades be successful. A key part of a successful Family Entertainment Center (FEC) is support for arcade equipment. If the equipment is broken, you can’t make money.

Our skilled, experienced in-house technicians conduct the training, sharing their knowledge, experience, and best practices. These two-day courses provide extensive arcade game room training for all position levels. Whether they have years of experience or are new, your technicians will learn from our two-day courses.
