OTTO JUNKER Academy - Progress through knowledge

UPDATING: The dates for 2024 are mentioned below.

Objectives of the OTTO JUNKER Academy

Employee skill standards for the planning, operation and maintenance of industrial furnaces in metallurgy have changed rapidly in recent years as processes grew in complexity and the design and execution of equipment became more challenging.

For personnel to stay abreast of today's demands the OTTO JUNKER Academy was established at the end of 2014 with the aim of conveying knowledge and experience in planning and upgrading as well as in the operation, maintenance and repair of industrial furnace equipment.

The seminars focus on cost effectiveness, reliability, energy efficiency and safety.

Using scale models, demonstration equipment and trial facilities, application-focused instruction is administered 'by practicians for practicians'.

The OTTO JUNKER Academy is aimed at serving managers and staff of the respective manufacturing, maintenance and investment planning departments. It is intended to provide both advanced training to proven employees and basic training to newly hired staff.

Advanced practical training

Given the technical and technological differences involved, our seminars are offered, in German and English, in two separate categories:

Foundry Plants - melting and pouring equipment and
Thermoprocessing Plants - heat treatment equipment

The courses are made up of separate modules which can be combined into an individualized training program. We will gladly provide recommendations regarding the allocation of the respective modules to staff members from the diverse disciplines such as investment planning, maintenance and repairs as well as operation.

All events are organized and carried out by OTTO JUNKER GmbH. The trainers are experienced experts from within our organization. Instructors from specific practical fields or from the academic sector may be called in as the need arises.

Successful course completion at the Academy will be attested by a certificate.
