When maintenance is challenged on-site, training of its staff is one of the best investment a company can do to improve efficiency and limit costly errors.

 

Through LubInstitute, TOTAL Lubricants propose a comprehensive range of trainings that can be tailored to your needs. Depending on the depth of knowledge targeted, we can organise from a short one hour training on basics to 3 full days on all types of applications (hydraulic, gears, rotating equipment…etc). Last year our technical experts have delivered more than 20 sessions to various clients in the UK directly on-site or via e-learning.
