Give your
operation a
well-earned
productivity boost
Longer lifetime
Productivity is top of the minerals processing industry agenda,
and FLSmidth Institute’s training programs are all about
maximising the value of plant equipment through all lifecycle
phases. We aim to give minerals processing plant staff the skills
and competencies they need to manage equipment from
design, construction and installation to commissioning and
operation and maintenance.
This year, we are focusing even more on the technical content
that helps you to maintain your equipment at a higher level and
save costs while you’re doing it. As we continue to align our
offerings to market demands, we are always seeking to
understand what will provide our customers with maximum
value.
Close to the market
Since the Institute was founded, we have developed our courses
in response to market needs. As a leading manufacturer of
minerals processing equipment equipment, we are well aware
of the skills and competencies that need to be developed. At
the same time, we listen to the needs of customers and adapt
course content to meet specific challenges.

The courses described in this catalogue are just a
portion of what we offer. If your operation has a specific
challenge, we can help you identify the type of training and
development that is right for you and put together a program
that will help close the competency gaps.
KPIs are an increasingly important facet of optimizing plant
performance. Through our courses, plant operators can learn all
about how to determine and apply KPIs in their day-to-day
operations.
Our highly specialized and professional trainers helped thou-
sands of people last year with their learning and development.
On average, our courses receive an impressive satisfaction rating
of 8.6 out of 10, as measured by independent analysts. We
constantly measure training effectiveness – both in terms of
what people learn and in the success of transferring new skills
to the plant. To maximise these gains, we can arrange post-
course assessments and other follow-up activities designed to
make the most of your investment.
Complete training solution
Our approach to learning and development is based on a
unique three-pronged approach: instruction in the use of
machinery, equipment design theory, and onsite training.
FLSmidth is the only company to provide such a holistic
approach.
Stay safe
Working in minerals processing plants carries with potential
safety risks. It is important to remain vigilant and up-to-date
with the latest regulations and safety procedures. Our training
addresses important safety issues by sharing best
practices that help you to embed a safety culture in your
operations. Even though there can be different regulations in
different locations, it can be valuable to learn about safety
practices that have benefited others. What you learn from
others can prove valuable for your entire organisation back
home.
On a final note, last year we launched our e-learning courses.
This was a popular move. As another example of our constant
aim to improve, we have now made these courses available
through our web site. Just go to www.flsmidth.com, Copper,
Learning and Development. We look forward to another year of
training ahead! And remember, if you have any ideas or
suggestions for how we can take your learning and develop-
ment to another level, we’d like to hear from you.
