The Educational Model of SMC International Training

An educational model based on 4 pillars. It provides the learning community with various integrated resources with a clear objective: to empower people in the necessary technologies in the field of automation.

SMC International Training’s Educational Model

Where expertise meets passion, automation drives progress, and lifelong learning is our focus.

Our educational model is based on four pillars:

These pillars inspire the development of resources that we offer to the learning community for the challenges and opportunities presented by the world of automation. Our goal is to train committed and competent people who can thrive in an ever-changing environment where automation plays a fundamental role in transforming production processes.

Expertise

Over 20 years of experience in didactics and automation. Our reference is the INDUSTRY, driving us towards innovation and the early use of advanced technologies.
We provide transfer of knowledge (Know-How) to maximize the use of our equipment and resources, enabling effective pedagogical strategies. Additionally, we adapt our methodologies and didactic proposals to the changing demands of today’s society, preparing ourselves for the constantly evolving future.

Passion

We believe in education and training as a means to improve the world, and we seek to inspire others with our passion for learning. We foster a learning environment that works a passion for automation and associated technologies.

Automation

At the core of our educational model, automation is the fundamental pillar. We acknowledge the transformative role automation plays in both current and future society. Our mission is to contribute to the development of the knowledge and skills required to design, operate, manage, and maintain automated systems efficiently and effectively. In doing so, we promote the competitiveness and sustainable development of this society.

Lifelong Learning

The world is constantly evolving, and learning has no endpoint. We advocate for promoting active learning through new learning strategies. We are committed to embracing new learning models, self-directed learning, blended learning, continuous learning, skills recycling, etc.

Where expertise meets passion, automation drives progress, and lifelong learning is our focus

Hardware, the physical equipment, occupies a central place in the educational model proposed by SMC International Training, unfolding a range of possibilities. We complement it with a series of additional resources, creating a comprehensive system that contributes to the achievement of educational objectives.

Didactic Curriculum

It enables the proper educational exploitation of the physical equipment, allowing the development of corresponding educational objectives.

  • User manuals and operation guides

  • Proposal of activities and practical scenarios

  • Webinars

  • Video turorials

Theoretical Fundamentals

It provides users with a broad theoretical knowledge base in various automation technologies, enabling the meaningful acquisition of required competences.
