Allied Machine & Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools for the metal-cutting industry, launches their newly developed training program—Allied Tool Academy. Within this multilevel program, Allied distributors and end-users will be able to register for online training modules, LIVE event broadcasts and on-site Technical Education Seminars (TES). The newest segment of Allied Tool Academy, the online training platform, is now open for registration.
The Allied Tool Academy online training provides the same extensive tooling training included in the three-day in-person training hosted at the company’s facilities, yet distributors and end-users now have access to an online resource that can be completed according to their schedule. Known as TES Online Certification, the 10 courses currently available contain product overviews, demos and short quizzes. As the online platform grows, additional content will be added such as specific product applications, online tools, distributor utilities and more.
Future plans for Allied Tool Academy include LIVE broadcasts and on-site TES training. Live educational broadcasts will be streamed from Allied’s training facility so that individuals worldwide can gain knowledge on a particular holemaking or finishing application. Furthermore, the in-depth application discussions and practical hands-on training sessions of TES will be offered from Allied Machine’s training facilities once it is safe and appropriate to meet in person.
From basic training for associates to more advanced training for experienced persons in the industry, Allied Tool Academy now serves to meet a variety of needs. Increased education leads to greater opportunity for Allied products to be applied in the industry correctly and efficiently. Participating in Allied Tool Academy enables individuals to be better equipped in providing optimal holemaking and finishing solutions to end-users. As always, Allied’s field sales engineers are available for further on-location training as needed.
With the release of the online segment as well as the future growth of the platform, Allied Tool Academy does not limit who has the ability to engage in this industry-leading holemaking and hole finishing training. “It is our commitment to provide customers with the essential knowledge and skills to be successful in applying our tooling solutions,” shared Kyle Sweitzer, Allied’s training coordinator. As remote learning and virtual spaces become much more prevalent, Allied Tool Academy’s new online training modules serve as a training tool for individuals unable to travel to Dover, Ohio—individuals seeking education online, on-demand and on their own schedule.
