Carrier Air Conditioning - Carrier Inaugurates its Training
Centre for Europe, Middle East and Africa
Carrier has launched a “Carrier University”, at Lyon,
near its French factory, for training in its Europe,
Middle East and Africa region. This is a project
undertaken in collaboration with a number of public
bodies in France, namely the Ain Regional Council, the
Bourg en Bresse and Lyon Universities and the Communal
conglomeration.
Lyon University donated the training facility, while
Carrier supplied the equipment. Carrier has committed to
provide training courses for 75 Lyon University students
each year at Carrier University, as well as fulfilling
its own training needs across the region.
David Appel, President, Carrier Building Systems and
Services, EMEA explained: “’Carrier University’ hosts a
full schedule of training programmes. Courses range from
two to five days, and three week programmes. The
curriculum in 2007 focuses on chillers, air-handling
units and terminals.
Three sessions were held during the first quarter of
2007. “Carrier engineers participated in the initial
training,” says Freddy Dumon, Training Center Manager.
“The early feedback has been positive. The opportunity
for sales and service engineers to see, touch and hear
the products means they can speak to their customers
with even greater conviction and respond better to their
immediate questions and needs.“
During the inauguration ceremony, David Appel declared,
“Carrier has established a reputation as the
manufacturer that trained the industry. The
establishment of this new centre for the EMEA region
will play an important role in enhancing that
well-earned reputation. ‘Carrier University’, as we like
to call it, will train existing Carrier employees,
improving the quality of service, while also training
students to prepare themselves for entering air
conditioning professions.”
