General information

It is our opinion that customer training is considered one of the most important parts of any project and is heavily emphasized within Siemens Power Generation. In line with our Total Quality Management and training policies, Siemens is able to provide a complete customer training program, which ensures full knowledge transfer.

Exact training requirements, however, can vary considerably from customer to customer. For this reason, Siemens offers both standard training courses and customer specific training programs.

To help you decide which course is more suitable for you, we have assigned experienced technical support professionals to help you with your training requirements.

All classes are offered in Alpharetta, GA, unless otherwise noted.
