Supporting AUMA’s expansion of its training services for actuation, a dedicated facility has been established at AUMA’s new UK premises. Additionally, Steve Farrow, who first joined AUMA in 1995, is now permanently based at the company’s UK offices in a role that includes development of training support. A suite of eight AUMA training courses are delivered either at AUMA’s UK operation near Bristol, or at the customer’s site. An assessment is available and certificates are issued on satisfactory completion of the courses. Sectors supported include the power, water, oil/gas and chemical industries. With focus on practical education, actual products are at the heart of AUMA’s mentoring service. The use of training aids ensures that course content centres on hands-on advice for real-life experience of actuators, set within the wider context of valve operation. AUMA advises that its interactive approach to education increases the confidence and capabilities of on-site staff. AUMA UK’s Service & Training Manager, Steve Farrow, has practical experience spanning 25 years in the valve and actuator industry. He has worked closely with a number of the UK’s leading utilities.
