Training Methods & Content
The Sprecher Training Center basically recommends an individually prepared „technique mix“ for training plans. As an example, the programme starts with web seminars that communicate theoretical basics in short lessons. The next task will be a classroom training or a practically oriented training (simulation).
Eventually, participants will be trained by facing realistic conditions in a workshop. Furthermore, project coaching or web seminars help to solve individual or project-specific issues. The Sprecher Training Center publishes specific certificates that approve and engage learning progress throughout the complete range of training courses.
According to individual learning styles and the requirements of praxis, the Sprecher Training Center offers differenttraining techniques which are selected or prepared individually for each customer.
The “classical” lecture provides basic knowledge without practical exercises.
Unlike standard trainings, workshops focus on customer-specific solutions, which are prepared individually.
This training technique may contain practical exercises at customers’ plants or lectures at customers premises.
After completing the training programme, parameterisation skills for automation systems can be practically enforced by professional coaches.
Beside conventional training environments, Sprecher Automation also offers “virtual classrooms” which allow mobile training sessions. If a “live connection” cannot be set up, video tutorials or web content are be provided separately.
Web seminar
Trainees are directly connected to their coach via the Internet. This acts as a bidirectional communication like in a conventional training environment. The training content is displayed on the screen and the participants communicate via headsets.
Video tutorial
In addition to product documentations, the Training Center also offers video tutorials where GUI activities (i.e. parameter loading) can be recorded and played for tutorial matters.
Individual training programmes are specifically designed for persons who are in charge of human resource development and have to plan job-related trainings (i.e. for service technicians in the automation field).
