MTM-Practitioner
The MTM practitioner training is also offered as a webinar. Together with you, we would like to use your operational case studies to demonstrate the benefits of MTM application while proving an increase in productivity and ergonomic optimization. The operational case study can be chosen by yourself. The optimization is done by yourself under the guidance of an experienced MTM instructor.
You will receive a template from our instructor in advance, in which information needed to work on the case study is listed. Please compile this by the start of the training. We will be happy to support you in the operational implementation.
You can write analyses with pen and paper. But it is also easier! We provide you with our TiCon software free of charge for this training - a time-limited, local version.
7 days before the start of the training you will get access to the course under MY MTM. You must be registered on our website https://training.mtm.org and have redeemed the participant code for this training. There you will find all further information on how to install the software. If you do not have admin rights on your computer, you should ask the IT specialists in your company to help you with the installation in good time before the start of the training.
Complete the MTM Practitioner qualification with the MTM Practitioner Training. Kill two birds with one stone with the webinar. Optimize a workplace and thus increase productivity in your company and have your new expertise certified by the issuance of the "Blue Card" (MTM).
