Because the right skills increase safety and productivity, Atlas Copco is offering new ways to access training on its mining equipment. The classes can be done on site, in classrooms and even online.

Distributors of Atlas Copco equipment and operators themselves can browse and request training courses and class sessions on Atlas Copco's free mobile app, Training365, available from the Apple or Google Play stores. Additionally, requests and questions may be emailed to [email protected].

Ben Thompson, national service operations manager of Atlas Copco mining equipment said, “We've seen how training can make mines more productive and workers safer. Our classes range from how to get the most out of our Rig Control System to simulator training so operators can practice in a safe, risk-free environment that's just like the real thing.”

Simulator training is offered for surface and underground rigs.

Two fixed-date classes are offered each year at the Garland, Texas, factory for Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions. This new format of requesting classes gives more opportunity for drilling operations to increase efficiency.
