SUSS Training Center

After purchasing your equipment manufactured by SUSS, we will support you by providing training for your team that will result in optimal and trouble-free functionality of your SUSS equipment. In our renovated and expanded Training Centers, we provide comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge to our customers. SUSS employees and service technicians are also regularly trained in the Training Centers.

We provide practical, hands-on training on our training machines, in addition to theoretical explanations with the help of modern equipment. Our experts will respond to individual questions and take the time to go into topics in detail. Training topics are customized to the specific needs of the respective trainees. Working in very small group sizes allows for an excellent and intensive learning experience.

Our customers can now benefit from an extended training portfolio, including virtual and virtual assisted training.

Virtual Assisted Presence Trainings

Presence training at each of the SUSS facilities or at customer's premise

Virtually assisted training means that, with the support of cameras, portions of the training will be broadcast to the classroom. With this method, the trainee can follow the full course content in all detail. This procedure applies in case the required distance can't be maintained.

Advantages

  • Small learning groups with up to 2 participants
  • Training duration of 3-5 days
  • Extensive training material will be provided
  • Catering during the training included

Virtual Training

Live broadcast from the SUSS facility to the customer site via digital communication and collaboration platforms

The virtual training is a live broadcast from the SUSS facility to the customer site via digital communication and collaboration platforms using various static and mobile cameras. The trainee can actively participate from where he is located, communicating via monitor and microphone. By using the cameras, the customer can be trained on the machine even if he/she is not on site. The participant can connect via weblink without the need for any additional software.

Advantages

  • Cost savings
  • No travel time or cost
  • No tool downtime
  • Possibility of train groups, depending on the training content

Please note that in some cases, training cannot be executed in virtual form.
