Technology, Organization,
People.
The perfect interplay of these
main elements is essential in
order to successfully put knowl-
edge into practice at a company.
These factors lay the founda-
tions for top performance and
financial success.
The Festo Competence Model
combines social, logistical and
technical skills to form a suc-
cess-oriented model for initial
and continued training.

“Ideas are only as good as
their practical and successful
implementation.”
Dr. Kurt Stoll
Owner
In the case of training activities,
this means that training must be
tailored closely to your require-
ments in order to ensure success-
ful implementation.
The basis for this is professional
consultancy and precise determi-
nation of your requirements. This
has been the principle behind the
development of our new range
of training and consultancy ser-
vices, which comprise everything
from an analysis of training needs
through to public seminars and
inhouse training programs, offe-
ring the right solution for every
need.
In view of the ever-increasing
competitive pressure faced by
companies today, lean production
systems, reduced downtime
and increased machine availa-
bility are vital prerequisites for
long-term success. This success
can be achieved only if improve-
ments in production and admin-
istration are codified into stan-
dards at regular intervals and
further improved.
For this purpose, companies need
staff who are able to recognize
potential for optimization in a
timely fashion, no matter whether
this relates to communication,
organization or technology.
As an experienced and strong
partner, we can help you to pre-
pare your staff and your company
to meet these challenges of the
future.
• Training tailored to the
specific requirements of your
particular production process.
• Detailed training needs
analysis of your employees to
determine their current skill
levels, and to configure a
training curriculum to meet
your defined skill requirements.
• Seminars delivered at your
facility, and scheduled to fit
your production plans.
• Public seminars delivered at
conference centers and Festo
facilities throughout the
United states.
• Seminars delivered inter-
nationally, that standardize
training wherever your
factories are located.

Immediate results from
performance-based training
Intelligent automation starts
with people. Give them the train-
ing they need to keep your auto-
mated systems up and running.
Festo courses are designed to
provide essential working knowl-
edge and practical experience
which your people can put to
use right way:
• Pneumatics
• Electro-Pneumatics
• Process Automation
• Customized training for your
particular automation system
Practical, hands-on experience,
real industrial applications
Festo seminars are 70% hands-
on, using exercises to design,
construct and troubleshoot
real industrial automation
applications.
Festo has patented workstations
that put everything your team will
need right at their fingertips.
Real industrial components with
quick-connect fittings and special
mountings keep the focus on
learning.
Generic automation technology
training
This is not the vendor-product
training you may have experi-
enced elsewhere. The generic
knowledge and skills learned
can be applied to any of the
equipment in your plant.
Team learning stimulates
motivation and performance
Working together, engineers,
technicians, and maintenance
people learn the crucial impor-
tance of teamwork. Taking a
Festo seminar is a very motivat-
ing experience according to past
attendees. „It can even be fun
because your’re able to see what
you designed actually work.“
Success motivates!
A hands-on approach to learning
