Monday 25 January 2010Launch of the Schottel Academy
German propulsion system manufacturer Schottel has founded the Schottel Academy.
Schottel directors launched the project during a ribbon cutting ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Spay/Rhine.
“In view of steadily increasing requirements on marine propulsion and steering systems, their ability to communicate with other on-board systems, and the ever greater complexity of shipyard operation, the instruction and training of personnel is becoming more important, as every system is only as good as the service, installation and operating personnel,” Ralf Wöllert, Service Director, said.
Customers, captains, on-board personnel, external service engineers, sales partners and Schottel employees will be able to receive specialist instruction in the operation and servicing of Schottel products from around 30 trainers at the Schottel Academy. Approximately 150 training modules have been developed which can be customised according to the level of knowledge of the target groups and used for individual or group training courses.
What makes the Schottel Academy stand out from previous product training programmes is the emphasis on internal continuous professional development. In this way, Schottel is ensuring, for example, that new employees or administrative personnel systematically receive in-depth product competence, thus quickly providing them with the technical qualifications they require to perform their tasks.
Qualification at Schottel is thus based on three pillars:
- Service training for international customers
- Technical training for technical employees and technicians
- Training courses as an instrument for employee development
The following training courses and seminars can be booked at Schottel:
- Technical training relating to specific customer orders for ships’ personnel at Schottel in Spay.
- Technical training relating to specific customer orders for ships’ personnel on site with practical training on board the vessel.
- General technical training for ships’ personnel at Schottel in Spay.
- Training for captains (simulation training at Maritime Simulation Rotterdam/allocation of training captains for on-site training courses)
