As the only OEM in the controls business, Siemens

Power Generation offers unparalleled power industry

experience and customer service, backed by our global

network of more than 30,000 power generation employees.

We are committed to meeting and exceeding customer expec-

tations and requirements to maximize our customers’ operat-

ing plant service.

This commitment includes product knowledge transfer for

our Instrumentation & Controls (I&C) customers. Our com-

prehensive, hands-on I&C customer training program gives

your personnel the knowledge to troubleshoot and maintain

your plant's control system. This ability can translate into

shorter outage times, increased In-Market Availability (IMA),

and increased profitability for your plant.

Our training program is a critical component of the Siemens

solutions suite. We've designed our training solutions around

the needs of the learner, incorporating solid curricula and

blended learning techniques that include instructor-led and

hands-on training. Our top-notch trainers have years of power

plant and classroom training experience to meet the demands

of today's plant professionals. Students leave understanding

how the TXP control system integrates with existing equip-

ment and with the confidence to operate and maintain the

control systems throughout your fleet.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve your

training needs. We appreciate your business and strive to

It is our opinion that customer training is

considered one of the most important parts of

any project and is heavily emphasized within

Siemens Power Generation. In line with our Total

Quality Management and training policies,

Siemens is able to provide a complete customer

training program, which ensures full knowledge

transfer.

Exact training requirements, however, can vary

considerably from customer to customer. For this

reason, Siemens offers both standard training

courses and customer specific training programs.

To help you decide which course is more suitable

for you, we have assigned experienced technical

support professionals to help you with your train-

ing requirements.

All classes are offered in Alpharetta, GA, unless

otherwise noted.
