But just as important is the training in the use of the systems the way they are taught and certified. All certified users are trained and licensed by Methods Workshop to use the systems. This ensures that systems operators are totally familiar with the systems and can maximize use and potential cost savings as soon as the systems are installed. We recognize that someone can be a great swimmer but a poor swimming instructor. Therefore, we reserve the exclusive right to perform the training and certification.
Initial training is included in the cost of the systems.
For instance, our GSD system includes two weeks of training. The first week of a GSD installation consists of a 35-hour methods engineering and GSD systems course. Our certified MTM-1 instructors keep the training consistent, yet customize it to the needs of each customer. The course contains daily quizzes and final theory and practical exams for certification. GSD remains the only sewn products specific standard data system with this type of certification.
