TECHNICAL LEARNING

Industrial Training & Technical Development

Develop practical knowledge in bearings, lubrication, machinery reliability and industrial automation through partner learning pathways and application-focused technical sessions coordinated by DHE.

Learning that connects technology with plant applications

Industrial training is most useful when technical concepts connect with the equipment, processes and maintenance decisions people encounter at work. DHE’s Training & Development page brings together three learning pathways: SKF technical learning, Festo industrial training and DHE technical seminars. Programme availability, faculty, format, fees, dates, prerequisites and certification are confirmed for each specific programme before registration.

SKF technical learning areas

Depending on the current SKF training calendar and programme scope, relevant learning themes may include:

• Bearing fundamentals and application: bearing types, selection considerations, fits, internal clearance and application factors.
• Mounting and dismounting: preparation, suitable methods, handling practices and common installation errors.
• Lubrication: lubricant selection considerations, relubrication practices, contamination control and lubrication-related failure awareness.
• Damage and failure analysis: common bearing damage patterns, contributing factors and practical prevention considerations.
• Machinery reliability: bearing-related condition, vibration awareness, alignment and maintenance practices.
• Sealing: seal function, operating environment and factors that influence sealing performance.

These are indicative subject areas, not a promise that every topic is available as a current public course. Specific SKF course titles, dates, duration, venue, fees, prerequisites and certification are verified against the applicable SKF programme before enrolment.

Festo industrial training areas

Subject to the current Festo training portfolio, learning pathways may include:

• Pneumatics: compressed-air fundamentals, pneumatic components, circuits and application practices.
• Electro-pneumatics: electrical control of pneumatic systems, sensors, actuators and control sequences.
• PLC and control: programmable logic controller concepts and industrial control applications.
• Hydraulics and electro-hydraulics: hydraulic principles, components, circuits and electro-hydraulic control.
• Mechatronics: integrated mechanical, electrical and control-system concepts.
• Industry 4.0: connected production and automation concepts, where included in the relevant programme.

Course codes, equipment, practical content, prerequisites, delivery format, duration, fees and certification are confirmed with Festo for the selected programme. No historic calendar or course code should be treated as current without confirmation.

DHE technical seminars & knowledge sessions

DHE can coordinate focused technical sessions for customers at their premises or at DHE premises. These sessions are planned around the audience’s experience, equipment and learning objectives. Indicative themes include:

• Bearing selection, handling, mounting and maintenance awareness.
• Lubrication practices, contamination and common lubrication-related issues.
• Bearing damage and failure awareness.
• Vibration, condition monitoring and machinery health fundamentals.
• Shaft alignment and precision-maintenance awareness.
• Industrial sealing and hydraulic-cylinder sealing considerations.
• Pneumatic systems, compressed-air usage and automation applications.
• Preventive and predictive maintenance concepts.

Seminars are knowledge-sharing sessions. They are not represented as formal SKF or Festo certification unless the specific programme is confirmed and delivered under the relevant partner’s certification arrangement.

How a training request is arranged

1. Define the audience: identify the team, job roles, experience level and approximate number of participants.
2. Choose the subject: share the technology, equipment or operational challenge the programme should address.
3. Confirm the pathway: DHE reviews whether the requirement fits a current SKF or Festo programme or a DHE technical seminar.
4. Agree the logistics: confirm venue, dates, duration, language, prerequisites, equipment needs and commercial details.
5. Confirm registration: participant names and any required information are shared through the agreed registration process.
6. Feedback and next steps: after the session, the customer can identify further learning needs or application discussions.

Information to include in your enquiry

• Company and plant location.
• Participant department and job roles.
• Preferred subject or equipment/application.
• Approximate number of participants and experience level.
• Preferred venue: customer premises or partner/DHE-arranged venue, subject to availability.
• Preferred month or timing and any specific learning outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Does DHE publish a fixed training calendar?

Programme dates and availability depend on the current SKF or Festo schedule and the specific training arrangement. Contact DHE to confirm the latest options rather than relying on an old calendar.

Are all sessions certified?

No. Certification depends on the specific partner programme and its requirements. DHE technical seminars are knowledge-sharing sessions and are not automatically certification programmes.

Can training be arranged at our factory?

DHE technical seminars can be discussed for customer premises. Partner training venue and delivery options depend on the selected programme and partner confirmation.

Can the content be customized?

DHE seminars can be tailored to the audience and agreed objectives. Formal partner courses follow the relevant partner’s defined syllabus and delivery conditions.

Can we request a topic not listed here?

Yes. Share the application or learning requirement. DHE will review whether it fits an available partner programme or a suitable technical knowledge session.
