TRAINING & CERTIFICATION

To make the most of Scottsdale’s robust, precision machines and seamless, intelligent software, you need the best training and preparation. At Scottsdale, we recognise the pressing need to get you up and running into the profit zone, and keeping you there. We’re passionate about:

• your technical training and familiarisation with our machines and software
• sharing our set up systems and operational know-how with you
• keeping you up to date with the latest innovations so you can take full commercial advantage

Fast tracking your training is helped by the fact that our:

• machines are finely engineered yet uncomplicated, without pointless extras
• software is designed in-house for ease of use and intuitiveness
• operational know-how is based on 25 years working side-by-side with AFS, one of Australia’s biggest LGS fabricators

Our training will make you a confident, proficient steel framing systems operator in as little time as possible.

Your initial training is part of the quoted package for machines and software. We work closely with you to develop your custom training and commissioning program, using live designs you intend to build as the basis of your training.

There are three key areas of start-up training encompassing the entirety of the design-roll forming production process:

• Design — the transformation of architectural plans into a building design (including materials) either directly in our ScotSteel environment or through interlinks with Revit.
• Engineering — analysis and structural verification of members, systems, and connections for building and design code requirements.
• Rollforming — CNC processing of the engineered LGS/CFS steel frame designs in a highly automated and technologically advanced rollforming environment.

Training in safe, efficient operation of your roll formers (panel and/or truss) and decoiler, as well as effective factory layout and operation, including storage of stock and frame assembly.

The major aspect of ongoing training is in software systems. Scottsdale typically releases four software updates per year unleashing new powerful design feature or building code engineering updates. You’ll receive an email for each new release with:

• download and installation instructions
• release notes
• introductory videos
• links to further reading

Training for these is also undertaken via customer webinars with an opportunity to ask live questions in a group setting so you also receive the benefit of fellow users’ insights.

At times you’ll also need to:

• refresh previous learning
• onboard new staff

That’s when you’ll need our Customer Knowledge Base. It retains all the training notes, videos and materials for the Scottsdale system, including software, machines and accessories, as well as business operations.

It’s part of your service package. And you can always just make an online service request or call/email us for advice and assistance if you prefer.

Everyone wants the best possible coach/trainer they can find. Scottsdale has a superb winning record and the adaptability to make the training experience relevant to all steel framing businesses, no matter their size. The results of Scottsdale training are impressive:

• Over 1000 of our machines are operating in over 80 countries, having produced billions of lineal metres of steel framing
• Some of our machines are still producing 4.5 million lineal metres of steel per annum more than 20 years after purchase.
• We have also previously provided local country training in many countries including throughout Asia, Europe, Africa, South Pacific, the Middle East, Australasia and North America.

Small or large companies, we train anyone, including simultaneous single or multiple-machine training, as well as large teams.
