Trainíng courses and Workshops
Ahead through qualífícatíon, because knowledge leads to success.
To enable you to use your CHIRON CNC machining center optimally, we offer a comprehensive range of qualification measures, training courses and training for operators, setup personnel and servìce technicians.
The training programme is characterised above all by flexibility in implementatíon.
In addition to the courses in our CHIRON training centre, these can also take place
at your location. Our trainers are able to offer courses in German and English. Optionally we offer further languages with the help of an translator.
In the CHIRON Training Center, we get interested persons, both beginners and pros, up-to-date with the latest technology, step by step. With training courses available for a number of individually combinable machine courses and programming topics, we qualify your employees while increasing the productivity of your CHIRON CNC machining center. This leads to more success for your company, since qualified and motivated employees are an important success factor.

Our training courses are designed didactically according to the latest teaching methods. By doing practical work in small groups, we take into account the field of interest and the level of knowledge of the participants. Our philosophy is to strongly qualify the participants through their own work on our training objects. Subsequently, what has been learned can be directly put into practice in routine work.
