ERA/GD/X EN/LZT 123 1210 R7B 00-12-19 © Ericsson GSM/Introduction 8 General Information on Training Options Training Language The official language for all training is English. However, we aim to provide most of our courses in any language requested, either using our own instructors or via interpreters. Training Documentation All training documentation is written in English. All instructions and documentation for equipment, etc., handled during the course is distributed to participants during the course. Size of Classes The size of each class is limited to ensure that participants are able to take full advantage of the equipment used during training, and thus assure the highest quality for the training provided. Normal class size is 8-16 participants. Examinations After successful completion of a course, the participants receive a certificate that verifies their attendance. A complete certification procedure involving testing the participant’s knowledge is available on request. Required Equipment A fully equipped classroom with at least one whiteboard and an overhead projector is needed for all courses. For practical technical courses, equipment is needed to complete exercises. Generally, it is not possible to use equipment from systems in operation, since the exercises involve changing the configuration of the system. For this reason, practical technical courses are normally conducted at an Ericsson Training Center. ERA/GD/X EN/LZT 123 1210 R7B 00-12-19 © Ericsson GSM/Introduction 9 Introduction The advanced technology used in modern telecommunications systems is very demanding for those involved in the running and management of a mobile network. This means that training for all staff involved in such activities must be of a high quality. As the world’s biggest supplier of GSM, we at Ericsson know how to help our customers get the most out of their networks. Moreover, we acknowledge that all our customers are unique, as are their competence requirements. That is why we offer more than just a standardized approach to training. As an Ericsson customer, you will have our support in all phases of your business. We will help you to identify your competence needs and guide your staff towards appropriate training, whether you are setting up a new network or maintaining one already in operation. Portfolio Our learning-product portfolio provides competence development for all categories of staff and all levels within the organization. Where there is a specific need that is not covered by our standard learning products, we can offer a customized solution. In addition to product-oriented learning products, Ericsson also offers a set of task-oriented learning products. Our task-oriented learning is based on cases and clearly defined tasks for the students. In order to ensure that the cases can be solved, all documentation and systems will be available. The instructors will work as guides or coaches for the students by providing guidance as to where a solution can be found. When necessary, the instructor will provide facts and information. The provision of this kind of training ensures that staff will only require a short time to put what they have learnt into practice. Multimedia/Web-Based Learning As an alternative to instructor-led learning products and instructor-supported learning products it is also possible to study using the Multimedia Technique. Ericsson has pioneered the use of Multimedia/ Web-Based Learning (MBL/WBL). A range of our learning products is available on CD-ROM and/or as a Web-Based solution for use in accordance with the individual employee’s requirements. A selection of Web-Based Learning products can be accessed through: http://learning.ericsson.net ERA/GD/X EN/LZT 123 1210 R7B 00-12-19 © Ericsson GSM/Introduction 10 Learning Consultancy Ericsson believes in providing the right learning product at the right time, tailormade to suit the customer’s needs. This, as we see it, is a prerequisite for the successful operation of a mobile network. In order to ensure a solution that is both tailor-made and cost-efficient, we strongly recommend that a training plan be worked out together with an Ericsson Learning Consultant. The training plan will focus on relevant areas of work within an operator’s organization, and suitable Learning Programs will be created according to the tasks being performed in different areas by different categories of staff. For the assistance of a Learning Consultant, please contact your nearest Regional Training Center.
