Ciat opens UK training centres

UK: Ciat UK has established two new training centres and showrooms in Leatherhead and Stockport to update customers on its latest air movement and air conditioning technology.

The facilities, at the premises of sister company Toshiba, include new showrooms for Ciat equipment and are said to be part of the company’s drive to develop the practical skills of engineers involved in installing and servicing Ciat’s range of air-side and air conditioning equipment. 

The training centres will operate alongside the existing UK training network of Toshiba Air Conditioning, which has 13 dedicated facilities across the country, and augment Ciat’s global training centre located at Culoz in south eastern France.

In addition to the training function, the new Stockport premises, opened late last year, will hold additional stock and also have a trade shop and equipment collection facilities.

The new Leatherhead and Stockport facilities will operate year-round, with a scheduled programme of courses supported by bespoke training to meet specific installer, consultant and end-user needs.
