Deutsche Windtechnik operates a unique Training Center with actual turbines from various manufacturers. In a time in which technology, systems, processes and learning methods are constantly changing, it is important to train your company staff using intelligent, agile methods. The much-discussed shortage of skilled workers also highlights the need for targeted management of competencies within a company.
Ensuring the quality of our worldwide service is not the only purpose of the company’s new competence centre, which covers technology from a range of different manufacturers. By opening up its training courses to operators and operations managers, we are promoting technical transparency in the market as a whole, and this will lead to an increase in fair competition.
It is no secret: well-trained specialists, unique skills and professional control of the quality of products and services are essential factors for a successful company. Training and further education for employees, special training courses and an overall willingness to encourage and foster personal development are part of any holistic corporate culture.
Deutsche Windtechnik, which is Europe’s largest independent provider of maintenance for wind turbines and employs more than 1,000 people, has set new standards for the dissemination of specialist knowledge during recent months by establishing what is probably the only training centre of its kind in the world.
Training for service competence
The purpose of the new Training Center for system engineering in Viöl, Germany, is to pool theoretical and practical expertise regarding system technologies used by different manufacturers, to make this expertise accessible to employees and customers in a demand-driven way, and to provide specific, practical training.
At the same time, it is important to keep an eye on the further development of technical requirements. One goal is to ensure the quality of service in the long term, within our internationally active company. But corporate leadership is also looking to increase the technical competence and transparency in the service market as a whole, and this will benefit operators and the industry in general.
Turbines from different manufacturers at one location
With its multi-brand approach, Deutsche Windtechnik’s Training Center provides an opportunity to learn about all relevant turbine types at one single training location. Training is carried out using actual turbines from the manufacturers Vestas, NEG Micon, Siemens and Enercon. The system technology of Senvion will be added at the beginning of 2019.
