| Description: | As well as holding UKAS 17025 accreditation, ALcontrol Oil Analysis Laboratory is now the only BINDT-accredited facility in Europe that offers training in lubrication management. The lab offers a world-leading analysis service based on equipment condition monitoring through fluid analysis. We specialise in monitoring all lubricated systems and transformer oils through extensive analysis, aiding you to safely extend oil drain intervals, schedule maintenance, reduce downtime and extend warranties. Our aims are to minimise your costs and maximise your profits by indicating possible problems with your machinery within 36 hours of oil sample receipt at the laboratory. ALcontrol Oil Analysis Laboratory has over 30 years of experience in monitoring all types of lubricated systems; whatever your business, we will be able to advise you on the condition of your oil and machinery. The principle of oil analysis is quite simple and can be compared to a human blood test, whereby a small sample of the circulating fluid can give in-depth readings into the health of the body it is servicing. Like a blood sample, a small amount of oil can show signs of contamination, degradation or wear and tear. It is these signs that our engineers use to aid maintenance personnel in avoiding unscheduled downtime and unexpected repairs. All results are available on a secure client-interactive website, which enables engineers to plot trends and set sample schedules, aiding maintenance professionals in the process of condition monitoring. ALcontrol Oil Analysis Laboratory also offers extensive BINDT training courses in oil analysis and lubricant management at its state-of-the-art facility in North Wales. To obtain information on the laboratory's full range of services, please visit www.alcontrol.co.uk or phone +44 (0)1492 574750. | |

| Description: | Qualifizierte Mitarbeiter – ein Schlüssel zum Erfolg Anspruchsvolle Aufgaben erfordern qualifiziertes Personal. Fachkräfte sind auf dem freien Arbeitsmarkt immer schwerer zu finden, obwohl sie für den Erfolg jedes Unternehmens von beträchtlicher Relevanz sind. Die beste Möglichkeit, fachkundiges Personal für Ihre Aufgaben zu bekommen, ist daher, die eigenen Mitarbeiter zu fördern und für neue Aufgaben zu entwickeln. Das steigert deren Motivation und bringt Ihnen die gewünschten Erfolge. SKF bietet ein umfassendes Angebot an Seminaren, die relevantes Know-how gezielt vermitteln. Im zertifizierten SKF Schulungszentrum erwarten Sie ein praxisnaher Werkstattbereich mit modernster Werkzeugtechnik und PC Arbeitsplätze für jeden einzelnen Teilnehmer. Alle Veranstaltungen sind so ausgelegt, dass Ihnen während des Seminars stets Spezialisten zur Seite stehen und alle anfallenden Fragen beantworten. Ganz nach dem Motto „Know-how aus der Praxis für die Praxis“ bestehen die Angebote meist aus einem theoretischen Teil, der dann durch praxisnahe Aufgaben ergänzt und gefestigt wird. Das bedeutet: Unter professioneller Anleitung werden Inhalte selbst erarbeitet. Das macht mehr Spaß, erleichtert das Verständnis und steigert nachweislich die Chance, das Gelernte in der Praxis richtig anzuwenden. In dieser Broschüre stellen wir Ihnen unser klassisches Trainingsprogramm, aber auch Kurse mit wechselnden und neuen Inhalten vor. Gerne führen wir auch Seminare durch, die individuell auf Ihren Weiterbildungsbedarf ausgerichtet werden und sogar bei Ihnen im Unternehmen stattfinden können. Alle Informationen und die Möglichkeit der Anmeldung zu den angebotenen Seminaren erhalten Sie auch auf unserer Internetseite www.skf-maintenance-services.de im Bereich Schulungen. Qualified staff – a key to success Challenging tasks require qualified personnel. Specialists are ever more difficult to find, although they are important for the success of each enterprise. The best way to get expert personnel for your tasks is to promote and develop your own staff. That increases their motivation and brings the desired successes. SKF offers a comprehensive range of seminars which give relevant know-how. In the certified SKF training centre you will find a modern well-equipped workshop and PCs for each individual participant. Each seminar is arranged so that specialists are always available to answer questions. Based on the slogan 'practical know-how for practical applications', seminars usually begin with a theoretical part, which is then supplemented and strengthened by exercises. This means that the topics are worked through under professional supervision. That makes it more fun, facilitates understanding and verifiably increases the chances of correctly using the learning in practice. In our brochure we present our classical training programme. We are also happy to carry out seminars, which are aligned individually to your training needs and even at your site. All information and the possibility of seminar registration is available at www.skf-maintenance-services.de | |

| Description: | Whilst providing a broad spectrum of school or site-based training, the SWSNDT has been noted for its aerospace, industrial and defence activities. Training and examination are routinely conducted in the five major NDT methods, with additional specialist courses, including metallurgical and chemical disciplines, thermography, laser shearography, magnetic Barkhausen noise testing, hardness testing, conductivity testing, tensile testing, composite material inspection, acid etch inspection, anodic flaw detection and heat treatment all arranged according to client needs. Working within the PCN, SNT-TC-1A, NAS 410 and EN 4179 schemes, courses are deliberately kept small, with the accent on practical and theoretical training rather than lecturing. Particular attention has also been paid to the compilation of specific training and examination programmes for clients employing specialist or automated inspection methods. In order to fully support clients' needs, the SWSNDT is an authorised qualification body for PCN examinations and a BINDT outside agency for Level 3 services and EN 4170 examinations. The SWSNDT provides NDT Level 3 consultancy services across all industry sectors via a team of dedicated, centrally-certificated ASNT and/or PCN Level 3 engineers.
