General information
Our training facility
We believe strongly that customer training
is one of the most important parts of
any project. 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.
All training takes place at our
Instrumentation & Controls headquarters in
Alpharetta, Georgia, located 40 miles north
of Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport.
Our facility provides the control technology
for all new power generation equipment,
along with retrofit and IT services for
operating plants. Classrooms are equipped
with actual control systems.
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, Georgia,
unless otherwise noted.
