Our Training Approach
Dematic’s dedicated training team will be on hand to provide your staff with the necessary training and practical experience to help them safely operate and where necessary, maintain the material handling system.
If selected, you will receive site-specific sessions, based on your premises to allow learning by experience. Learning is better retained when it is put into practice. Our experienced trainers will take you through the system in a blended way, mixing theoretical and practical approaches, allowing your staff to bring the knowledge gained into operation. All our trainers have relevant experience and knowledge to deliver the individual operational
and technical training modules. Training delegates need to have relevant experience and appropriate knowledge and education to achieve the course objectives
