Skill development
with an excellent outlook
Rely on practical knowledge that comes straight
from the manufacturer
Well-trained employees are a crucial factor in any
company’s success. Skill development and expert
knowledge make companies competitive and inno­
vative. With our globally available training courses
for industry, we help you achieve these goals – with
practical experience, innovative learning methods,
and a concept that’s tailored to the customer’s
specific needs.
Our trainings – these are courses led by certified experts
with practical experience. Practical exercises on specially
developed training equipment as well as high-quality
course materials ensure learning success.
Our successful portfolio includes more than 300 courses
as well as special advanced training modules in individual
sectors – available at over 130 locations worldwide. We
can also customize courses and conduct the sessions on
your premises.
Sustainable skill development in three phases
Conducted in three phases, our integrated skill development program ensures that all participants are able to
fill specific gaps in their knowledge and expand their
competencies.
Phase 1: Requirement analysis
A requirement analysis establishes clarity in advance.
The comprehensive, task-specific assessment of the
services to be provided and the participants’ current
level of knowledge lay the foundation for individual
recommendations for further training. Building on this
assessment, a course curriculum for building skills is
created – adapted to individual customer requirements,
of course.
Phase 2: Our trainings
Participation in our training courses forms the core of
the skill development program. In the courses we
discuss the capabilities and functions of our products,
making transparent the workflows and relationships of
different product components. The individual training
courses are optimally coordinated with each other and
purposefully build skills and knowledge for the long term.
Phase 3: Follow-up
At the end of the training course, follow-up measures
provide a way to monitor success as well as reinforce
and refresh the knowledge acquired. Appropriate courses,
e-learning activities, and online support forums keep the
knowledge up to date over the long term.
Three good reasons for Siemens training:
1. Manufacturer’s expertise:
As the manufacturer of the products, Siemens begins to develop the appropriate training during the product
development stage – a real advantage in terms of time as well as knowledge.
2. Practical experience:
The courses are distinguished by their wide range of practical exercises – usually comprising half of the course
time. This means that the knowledge can be applied immediately in your employees’ everyday work.
3. Flexibility in implementation:
Flexibility is the name of the game. The content as well as the location of the training can be customized to
meet each customer’s needs.

The right training course
for every drive
SINAMICS is currently the most comprehensive family of
converters on the market. It is based on straightforward
and standardized engineering, it is energy-efficient, and
importantly, it is future-proof because it keeps pace with
absolutely every innovation step. Whatever direction you
choose, SINAMICS offers you the right converter for every
drive.
The range of SIMOTICS electric motors available is equally
comprehensive. As the core element of the drive system,
SIMOTICS can be precisely integrated in the drive train.
If you’re looking for a fast, reliable solution that’s the right
fit for your application – or want to know which converter
or motor is suitable and how they can be put to optimal
use – SITRAIN can help you. SITRAIN has a portfolio of
training courses that are perfectly matched to your
requirements and your plant’s lifecycle.
Custom solutions for your needs
SITRAIN offers a unique range of training courses for the
basic applications in your sector. No matter what your application is, whether it’s the operation of pumps, fans, or compressors, powering conveyor belts or elevators, processing
in mills or extruders, motion control, machining operations
(milling or turning), packaging, printing, drilling, or sawing
– SITRAIN provides an ideal means of planning, implementing, operating, servicing, and repairing your applications.
Minimizing your costs
Engineering costs for project planning and putting drive
solutions into operation need to be kept as low as possible.
SITRAIN also helps you cut costs through the correct use of
standardized tools in the planning, implementation, and
operating phases. These tools facilitate fast, simple, and
low-cost engineering.
As much as 70 percent of the power requirement in the
industrial sector is accounted for by electric drives. This
makes it all the more crucial to employ drive technologies
that enable you to determine your savings potential over
the entire lifecycle of your equipment. Our courses will
provide precise explanations on how to use SinaSave,
the amortization calculator for energy-efficient drive technology. They also help you calculate the savings potential
of actual drive applications based on your plant’s performance characteristics.
Planning phase
Planning, calculation, configuration, and decisionmaking
From initial orientation to the selection
and calculation of the motor.
