Seminars
How our seminars are organized
The systematically structured seminar covers practical application examples directly related to the lecture subjects.
Demonstration videos, group discussions, and machining examples on the actual machines complement the training course.
People we target for the seminars
Our seminars are designed for all professionals in the machining industry. Specifically, it is suitable for trainees, work planners, programmers, purchasers, process developers, machine operators, machine conditioners, application engineers, production managers, and others.
The optimal number of participants is 10, with a maximum capacity of 20.
What you will get at the seminar
In addition to the knowledge gained during the seminar, participants will receive seminar materials to help incorporate the learning into their daily production processes.
Furthermore, a certificate of attendance will be issued. This can be used to attest to your knowledge level at your organization.
