The item Academy – tips and tricks direct from professionals
Mechanical engineering products and applications are complex and their associated functions and systems are constantly changing, which means they need to be explained. Users depend on training and regular practical courses to keep up to date with the state of the art. However, this is where many options based on in-person training reach their limits. Whether due to the current pandemic or because of the internationalisation of teams and working groups, getting training participants together in a single location is both challenging and time-consuming. With the item Academy, each and every individual can work through training modules, access information and obtain experts tips whenever and wherever it suits them.
“The Academy isn’t just of interest to users of item products in the conventional sense. Its content can also be used as a teaching tool,” explains Thomas Hytzki, a lean expert and technical trainer at item. Students can work their way through training modules independently if, for example, they are intending to carry out projects involving item products. Thanks to practical tips and product guides, they see the theory they have learned put directly into practice. Teaching staff can also use the content to further their training or refresh their knowledge. The practical tips and product guides provide them with material, tips and tricks that they can pass on to pupils and students.
