General Information
Camstar Education Services offer quality coursework to support customer needs on all capabilities of the products within the Camstar Enterprise Platform.
Instructor led training and interactive course labs provide the knowledge and skills needed by customers to implement solutions to business needs using Camstar Products. Camstar education is developed for core members of the implementation team, including: modelers, designers, developers, and managers.
Courses provide focused, hands-on training and are presented as:
Classroom Presentation and Demonstration
Instructor Lectures / Discussion
Interactive Labs
Case Studies
The Exploring level courses are intended for all members of a customer project team; and teach the basics of the “out of the box” functionality of the Products. Other courses within the curriculum(s) teach specific skills or are related to product supporting technology that will allow you to more deeply understand and use the Power of Camstar to configure a solution to meet your specific business requirements.
Training Plans are tailored to customer needs as part of the implementation project. All classes are taught by certified instructors.
Camstar recommends three training tracks for a typical project team’s resources: Product Orientation Training Track This track is recommended for the entire customer project team. The focus of the Product Orientation Training is:
• To familiarize attendees with Camstar Product terminology.
• To teach attendees navigation skills within the applications.
• To familiarize attendees with the configurable objects used to define a factory model and execute transactions on it. This includes a heavy emphasis on Object relationships (how the objects fit together as building blocks to construct a model to meet functional requirements on the shopfloor).
Unrestricted © 2017 Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. Page 2
Camstar Enterprise Platform Course Catalog.Docx
The Product Orientation Training includes the Exploring Camstar Manufacturing and the appropriate training units from the Exploring Camstar Features Modules. This track is executed early in the project (often pre-kickoff).
The courses in this track are also available online in the Camstar Education Portal at
www.LearnCamstar.com For information on how to purchase a subscription to the Education Portal contact Camstar Education via email at [email protected] or by phone at 704.227.6600. The eLearning Course Catalog is available for download from the Siemens website at http://camstar.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/en/support/education-and-certification/
System Developer /Maintainer Training Track This track teaches specific skills needed by staff involved in technical areas of the project, i.e. Interface and Report developers. The System Developer/Maintainer Training includes the Object Design and Portal Studio Developer courses. This track builds on the Product Orientation Track, which should have been completed previously. This track may be delayed until well into the project depending upon the roles customer personnel will assume during the initial implementation. System Administrator Training Track This track is recommended for IT Administrative staff. The System Administrator Training includes the Camstar Enterprise Platform Administration class. This class is typically taught by a Camstar IT professional at your facility during installation and configuration of Camstar on your production servers. This track is typically executed in conjunction with hardware availability and environment setup and is conducted as a QuickStart. Also available is the Camstar Installation & Configuration course, which teaches how to install and configure Camstar in stand-alone environment for training or testing.
Open Enrollment Scheduled classes are taught at the Camstar Education Center in Charlotte, North Carolina and Penang, Malaysia. The schedule is posted on the Siemens Website Education pages.
Classes can also be taught onsite at customer or partner locations.
A separate curriculum and course catalog exist for the Camstar Semiconductor Suite.
