As a special option supplementing a standard confirmation of participation, Krones offers an opportunity to obtain a Krones certificate (within the framework of our own certification under ISO 9001 - 2000) for the “Krones Line Manager” and “Krones Automation Engineer” courses, which cover both the theoretical and practical aspects of the remits involved. At the end, the qualification is confirmed by appropriate performance documentation: after passing their test, the participants are awarded the Krones certificate, which is valid for a period of two years. Krones thus guarantees that the certificate-holder’s qualification reflects the ongoing state of the art. After the two years, of course, the participant concerned can again have his/her performance capabilities verified. There is no need to attend every course again: depending on the state of knowledge involved, individual modules can be retaken, or the certificate simply updated.
