Professional qualification of our customers, embedded in and promoted

by the MAN PrimeServ Academies, is a strategic target of our company.
We have decentralized our training facilities in order to minimize
the travel costs and be as close as possible to our participants. At
thirteen certified academies, we offer a variety of courses, to build on
the lasting confidence of our customers.

As learning is most efficient and long lasting when theoretical and

practical teaching is combined, we put a high focus on combining
both. In our academies the participants are guided through hands-on
operational and maintenance exercises on full-scale machines and
simulators. We strive to create a “real life” atmosphere that the
participants can relate to in their daily working environment.

The MAN PrimeServ training centers follow specified MAN guide-

lines and use the same proven routines. In our global setup we offer
courses in English and in other local languages.
