Where & How
The training courses are tailored to your specific requirements and held at one of our modern training centers, at one of our worldwide thyssenkrupp Polysius branches or at your plants.
| Our training centers | Modern training centers, away from the plant |
| thyssenkrupp Polysius branches | At one of our worldwide branches, closer to your region and your language |
| At your plant | On your machines, with your team, in your operating reality |
| Online as a webinar | No travel, and easier to split across shifts |
It is also possible to perform the training course online as a webinar — including a remote plant visit on your premises, to get a relation between theory and the actual site situation. This is highlighted on the page as the option most worth knowing about, since it removes travel without losing the connection to the customer's own machines.
