In short:
Customer-centric customized courses
• The educational needs of your organisation are met by providing both need-to-know theory and need-to-have practice. This means that your employees are trained specifically for what they need to be trained for.
• PIEK’s in-company training can be mutually arranged at moments that best suit you. PIEK is flexible in this. The instructor takes with him all the required soldering and inspection equipment, so a fully kitted out work place for every participant. The equipment can be of any of the following manufacturers, Ersa, JBC, OKi, Metcal, Pace or Weller, depending on your needs.
• On site it is much easier to discuss issues that occur in the production and assembly process.
