Ongoing training and

development of the skills of
your employees is an important
condition for continuous
development and expansion
of your technological and
professional know-how.

Training is value
for money

Training is value Your goal is our goal

This catalogue gives you an overview of the training options
which will help you to strengthen the professional
competences at your plant and make sure that plant personnel
are fully updated with the latest automation technology and
knowhow. The overall goal for all our courses is:
- a reduced down-time
- an improved troubleshooting and maintenance
- an optimized production and
- an increased staff retention.
What do we cover?
Our courses are divided into three main areas: ECS courses,
which are primarily relevant for control room personnel, QCX
courses, which are primarily relevant for laboratory personnel
and equipment courses, which target personnel taking care of
IT, sampling and laboratory equipment. In addition to these
courses, we offer specially designed training tailored to meet
special requirements.
Why are our courses so highly appreciated? One of our secrets
is that we always start analyzing what are best daily, weekly,
monthly and yearly practices when using our products. We
explore what is "need to know" and what is "nice to know".
When we know how our products can be used in the most
professional way, we start designing the course.
Effective Training
We know it can be difficult being short of good employees
while they upgrade their qualifications. That is why we put an
effort into conducting effective training. To achieve this target,
we acknowledge the complexity of the human mind and
design our courses with the scientific knowledge of effective
learning.
We look forward to seeing you at one of our training sessions.
On behalf of FLSmidth,

Jens Aaslyng Dall

Global Product Line Manager

The two most important

goals for all training
are to generate value
for the customer and
develop skills and
knowledge for the
employees.

Development
of skills
Development of skills
Skills are developed through steps, and each step requires
different types of training. New users require clear guidance and
overview. Experienced users need knowledge, explanations,
general guidelines, tools and examples of when and how to
deviate from the rules. Experts require knowledge, perspectives,
suggestions, cooperation and adjustable tools.
Our courses and customized training programmes are designed
to bring employees effectively up through the steps.
Daily Use Courses
Everyone managers, technicians, operators and automation
system engineers can gain valuable knowledge from
participating in these courses.
The courses focus on basic overviews of the systems and how
to use them. Since our applications have many functions and
features, it can be difficult and time consuming to gain
overview and confidence in using the systems. The courses will
provide overview, tools and helpful procedures which are
required for using the applications effectively in the daily work.
The training objectives are at level 3 (according to the European
Qualification Framework).
Prior experience of the systems is not required for participating
in the Daily Use Courses.
Maintenance Courses
Maintenance Courses are designed for engineers who will
maintain the automation systems or engineers who will have
the technical dialogue with FLmidth A/S about technical service.
The course topics are selected for supporting automation
system engineers to get detailed overviews of the systems and
knowledge of how to maintain and customize them.
The courses will include presentations, practical experience with
the systems, guidelines and dialogues. The courses include
practical experience with maintenance of the systems and will
build up a thorough knowledge of the system. The training
objectives are at level 3 (according to the European Qualification
Framework).
The Maintenance Courses build upon the Daily Use Courses.
Topics and features explained in the Daily Use courses will not
be repeated at these courses. The Maintenance Courses are
tailored for engineers with general experience of the course
topics.
Customized Training
If we do not provide standard courses within a specific area or
at a specific level, a customized training programme can be
organized. The training can be anything from guidance,
classroom training to workshop. The training objective will be at
level 2, 3 or 4 (according to the European Qualification
Framework) depending upon the required skills, the skills level
of the participants and the time available.
For high level training, Customized Training can be organized as
a tailored high level workshop. A high level workshop normally
focuses on a plant-specific issue or project. The issue will be
solved through cooperation, hands-on activities and use of
relevant documents, tools and discussions.
The workshop will include a special focus on the skills
development. To get the most out of the high level workshop,
the participants must have knowledge similar to any
comparable Maintenance Courses and plant experience within
the area. The training objectives are at level 4 (according to the
European Qualification Framework).
The European Qualification Framework is presented at page
62-63.
