A Message to Our Students

Welcome to the 2015


Training Directory!
As you notice on our cover, our team is now referred to as the
Siemens Performance Group. We still have the same great classes
and the same great staff, but our focus is expanding beyond
education. Our goal is to improve your employee’s performance
on our systems.
To start the process, I am pleased to announce our new training assessment tool. This
tool will help you match up your job performance requirements with the right training
class. This tool is available at no charge at www.usa.siemens.com/educationservices.
This site also contains details on the courses we have available, announcements on the
release of new self-study and classroom training offerings, an easy to download
schedule, an electronic directory, a list of branch locations and our enrollment forms.
I am also pleased to announce training on our new products, Desigo Voice and Cerberus
Karen Petersen PRO Voice. For a complete description of these classes, please see pages 57 and 59.
Additionally, I am pleased to inform you that we have several new training classes on our
Building Automation products. We are offering a BACnet field panel class, an Accelerated
APOGEE with BACnet Master Operator program class and an advanced graphics class.
View pages 20, 23 and 16 for the course descriptions.
To complete web-based training, view your Siemens training transcript, print certificates
and much more visit our secure learning portal www.siemens.com/esonline. See page
