An intensive certification program, developed in Spanish, was held in Italy and Slovakia, offering a unique experience for professionals in critical infrastructure.
Bogotá, Colombia [November 12, 2024] - Vertiv (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, held its Commercial Certification program using an in-person methodology across three European cities: Padova (Italy), Bologna (Italy), and Nove Mesto (Slovakia). This exclusive and intensive training, focused on thermal management and AC power solutions, cumulatively lasted more than 30 hours and allowed participants to earn certification in the latest technologies and learn about Vertiv's most recent innovations.
The program, which took place in October, 2024, included diamond, platinum, and gold Vertiv Channel Partner Program participants from Brazil, Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Guatemala, Paraguay, Peru, among others. This event provided valuable training and a rare chance for regional networking for the attendees, further strengthening Vertiv's position as an industry leader in the LATAM region.
“What sets this program apart is that it was designed for Latin American professionals to train in their own language, removing comprehension barriers and enabling more effective learning,” said Saida Ortiz, Channel Manager for LATAM at Vertiv. “This initiative was a significant time commitment for Vertiv and our LATAM channel partners. The resulting in-depth and immersive experience increased their expertise while also expanding their relationship with Vertiv.”
Experience in production plants and European tourism
In addition to theoretical sessions, participants visited four production plants and attended hands-on training at these facilities, gaining a deep understanding of Vertiv's product development process. Key activities included:
- Bologna Plant, Italy: Visited the Vertiv AC Power Customer Experience Center, which includes a showroom, the Vertiv Academy and testing laboratories.
- Padova (Tognana) Plant, Italy: Attended training classes on thermal management products and technologies, and had an extensive visit to the Vertiv Thermal Customer Experience Center with the free cooling chiller innovation lab where VertivTM Liebert® AFC chillers are tested, the large outdoor package innovation lab where the VertivTM Liebert® EFC heat exchanger is tested, as well as chiller manufacturing lines and the thermal indoor units show room.
- Nove Mesto Plant, Slovakia: Visited the VertivTM Liebert ® PDX and VertivTM Liebert® PCW thermal systems manufacturing lines, as well as end-of-line testing labs.
