Course Offerings & Pricing

Program and Course Goals
The goal of our eLearning training programs and
courses is the advancement of knowledge related to the
installation, usage, application, service and maintenance
of AC and DC drives.

Company Learning Strategy

Student and company training needs vary by business.
The needs may include compliance, process, general
safety, basic electricity, and advanced or specific
equipment training. ABBs eLearning offers a valuable
component to any industrial companys overall training
strategy. We provide product-specific training on AC
drives, DC drives and related advanced topics. Our
training is designed for industrial companies with staff of
specific functional roles that install, apply, maintain,
troubleshoot, or service AC & DC drives.

Course Duration
Multiple eLearning courses make up most programs.
The individual courses typically take 25 to 45 minutes to
complete. The total time to complete a program
depends on the program subject. Programs can have
one to as many as 10 courses.

eLearning?
eLearning is simply learning on-line rather than in a
classroom. eLearning is on demand and self paced.
When a student has time and an internet connection,
they can take a training program.

Value
Classroom training can be expensive. The costs of
instructor-led training, such as class fees, costs of travel,
and the cost of technicians away from the facility can
add up. An investment in eLearning can reduce the total
need for classroom training and reduce the quantity of
staff that needs to travel. The value of eLearning is in
using this training medium to supplement where
classroom training is not needed for the broad audience.
