Charles Black & Associates, Inc.
Charles Black & Associates, Inc (CBA) is a performance improvement training and consulting company dedicated to helping our clients identify and address issues impacting individual and organization performance by providing high quality cost effective interventions.
At Charles Black & Associates, we believe the foundation of every successful manufacturing operation is a well-trained, capable workforce. We specialize in hands-on maintenance training, workforce development, and consulting services designed to address the real-world challenges your team faces every day.
Our approach is simple: move beyond theory and into practical application.
Our trainers are seasoned industry professionals with real-world experience—not just instructors, but experts who have worked in the environments they teach. Through interactive, equipment-focused training, they teach technicians not just what to do—but why it matters. From troubleshooting and electrical systems to hydraulics, automation, and precision maintenance, our programs are built to strengthen skills, improve reliability, and support safe, efficient operations.
In addition to technical training, we partner with organizations to develop their people and processes through leadership development, operator certification programs, and customized training solutions. Whether you’re onboarding new employees, advancing experienced technicians, or working to reduce downtime and improve performance, we deliver results that translate directly to the plant floor.
No fluff. Just the knowledge, tools, and experience your people need to perform at their best.
In loving memory of our founder, Charles T. Black (1950–2025).

Train for Impact
Our concept is to take the training to the client vs. scheduling training in large metropolitan areas and have the client come to the training. We schedule training events in smaller towns central to a large amount of small to medium size companies. This concept can save the client considerable travel costs which in some cases more than doubles the costs of the training.
Our training is instructed by professionals with industry experience and proven training skills. All training is highly hands-on using “real world” simulations when possible. All workshops use pre and post test evaluations to measure short term retention of the training participant. We also make available our “Training Impact Action Plan” for the client’s use in measuring long term retention and calculating their return on their training investment “real world” simulations when possible.
