The Kramp Academy, the training programme for Kramp dealers, has a number of new courses for this season.

Starting in October, Kramp Academy, offers professional training in commercial and technical subjects such as PTO identification, Hydraulic fittings training and retail and merchandise training.

New for this season are three courses designed to improve the efficiency and technical knowledge of staff.

Following the successful Hydraulics, Hoses, Swaging and Fittings course, Kramp Academy has added a further day of training for this subject. Part 2 of this subject features an in depth look at valve port thread identification, avoiding contamination, unusual fittings types (such as French Gaz or Komatsu), and also an introductory look into hydraulic systems. This course is available for any Kramp dealer with staff who have completed part 1. All part 1 and part 2 courses are back to back, and so can be completed across 2 days.

Also in the hydraulics training portfolio is a dedicated ladies day for hydraulics training. This course is only open to women and training on hydraulics is provided in an open and friendly atmosphere.

The last new course on the prospectus is Microsoft Excel training for stock management. This training is delivered by a Microsoft accredited trainer and covers everything on Excel from the very basics to advanced functions such as Vlookups and Pivot Tables. Kramp also offer bespoke Microsoft Excel or full Office training available at your premises, contact Marketing Manager Richard Kendrick - Kendrick.richard@kramp.com for more information.

All courses are available from Kramp's five academy centres, SRUC Oatridge and Barony, RAU - Cirencester, Askham Bryan College and the Kramp Sales and Distribution Centre in Biggleswade. Information can be found by Kramp dealers through the website. All courses can be registered for through the Kramp Academy portal in the webshop.
