Factory Training
Power circuit breaker schools at the factory are
offered at various times of the year. Each of
these schools covers a specific circuit breaker or
specific equipment utilized in support of power
circuit breakers. The factory schools are de-
signed with a maximum of hands-on training
utilizing actual circuit breakers, interrupters,
mechanisms, control devices and mentoring by
experienced factory and field service profession-
als. These factory schools combine talents and
expertise of maintenance professionals from
different organizations creating a unique learning environment during hands-on exercise, group discussion

Customized Training
Each customer has a unique set of training needs and we will customize the training to address these
needs. This design work is done in conjunction with the customer. It usually involves an initial confer-
ence call to get the information required to design a training draft and a customer review to refine the
design. In some cases, the course is delivered to a small group of the customers frontline leaders in order to
ensure that the content addresses the organizations needs. The process map below describes the develop-
ment of this customized training. This process begins with the Voice of the Customer (conference call
to get information) and ends with the training delivered after the customer is comfortable that the product
will meet the needs they have defined.
