SmartTech™ On-Site Training for Scientific Molding & Extrusion
Routsis SmartTech™ is the most effective hands-on training program available for plastic processors and technicians. This unique combination of face-to-face instruction, online training, and hands-on skills development teaches your employees the science of plastics processing — not just the workings of a particular molding machine or extruder.
How do the SmartTech™ events work?
Prior to the event, participants are required to take online training to prepare them for focused technical discussions. The onsite training event itself can be 1, 2, or 3 days long, depending on your company’s needs. After the event, participants must complete additional online training — reinforcing the classroom discussions and preparing them for the completion exam.
1-Day: Classroom
Designed for larger groups of 10-15 participants, Routsis Training’s 1-day SmartTech™ Classroom event includes pre-requisite online training, a full day of in-person classroom instruction at your facility, follow-up online training, and a completion exam.
2-Day: Skills Development *
Building on the Classroom Event, our 2-day SmartTech™ Skills event devotes equal time to practical, hands-on skills-development at your machines. Intended for groups of 8-10 participants*, these events are the ideal choice for companies with access to processing equipment.
3-Day: Workshop * **
The SmartTech™ Workshop event augments 2 days of classroom and skills training with a full-day instructor-led workshop. Designed for 8-10 participants*, the SmartTech™ Workshop is an excellent choice for companies who wish to provide employees with intensive hands-on skills training.
What is the SmartTech™ pricing model?
SmartTech™ pricing is based on the number of contiguous days of onsite instruction. Since most of the cost is due to travel and preparation, longer events are more cost-effective. For example, a 2-day event costs only 25% more than a 1-day event — and a 3-day event costs 20% more than a 2-day event.
