Everyone’s talking about digital learning – Liebherr shows how it’s done: Training courses on all topics connected with gear technology are now taking place in the form of interactive Live Online Training. Participants can tune in from anywhere and can also be trained virtually on the modern, fully equipped machines in Liebherr’s new Machine Training Center (MTC) if required. The new training catalog provides a comprehensive overview of all the training courses offered.

With Live Online Training, Liebherr has expanded its proven, practical on-site training format to include a digital format. Elaborate media technology depicts the processes on the machines in the brand-new Machine Training Center (MTC): Here, grinding, hobbing and gear inspection machines with state-of-the-art technology, are available for the participants and offer ideal training conditions for on-site training and – thanks to up-to-date camera equipment – also for Live Online Training. During the training session, the trainer can superimpose the control system and work area of the machines accordingly using several cameras. Small learning groups with a maximum of six participants enable an interactive learning dialog with the trainer, therefore increasing the learning value.

“We wanted to offer more than just web seminars. It was quite an effort to implement the Live Online Training, but we wanted to offer our customers the modular and topic-based training program online, as much as possible, in the same scope and quality that they are used to from our on-site training. Thanks to the technical equipment and our didactic concept, high training level is also guaranteed in the digital format”, says Markus Bahsler, head of the Liebherr Academy.  The whole program is capped by comprehensive training documents.

New possibilities in a digital format

Travel time and costs are omitted, and participation is possible from practically anywhere around the globe. The format even opens up additional flexibility: Product-related training can also be implemented, and companies can register their employees individually for this. Individual sequences of a training course can also be combined logically. An additional benefit: For specific questions, there is the possibility of individual question and answer sessions after the seminar.
