 FOREWORD

Technology is evolving at an astonishing rate. In order to be able to maintain and repair machines
properly, it is crucial to remain informed of the latest developments. Thanks to the trainings provided
by the TVH Training Centre you ensure that you can offer your customers the best service possible.

Our approach?

Our “hands-on” trainings start with a theoretical introduction. Immediately afterwards your engineer
can convert the acquired knowledge into practice: he can practise on the test configurations and
directly on machines from our varied range. He experiments, tests, searches for errors ... and
immediately receives guidance from the trainer.

At the TVH Training Centre there is time and space for “trial and error”. Furthermore we work with a
limited number of participants per group. This ensures that each participant receives optimal support
and learns to repair machines efficiently: “first time - right fix”.

We guarantee you that, after taking the training, your engineer will work on machines more
goal-oriented and confidently. We look forward to receiving your employees.
