According to Training Manager Toni Leikas, the “students” were very professional and interested on the maintenance tasks and on understanding trouble shoot processes.

From Virtual Training to Reality

It is notable to mention that this maintenance team from the Belgian Defense Forces has previously attended a virtual training on ChemProX, which provided them the basic knowledge on how to operate the device.

This face-to-face session served as a skill reinforcement, that went into a more advanced and practical level of understanding in detail all the latest features of ChemProX, with special focus on the potential of the training mode and in-built software.
