CBI-electric: low voltage is an established global supplier of world class products and solutions and continues to develop their extensive expertise through the application of the latest technologies and trends.
In line with this, CBI-electric’s channel partnership campaign aims to empower and develop their Distributors through training programmes that ensure that end-users not only receive a world class value added service, but are also protected through the correct use of products as required by their respective application. Only Distributors that attend CBI training programmes are certified as an Authenticated Distributors.
Charl Osborne CBI-electric Commercial Manager believes that, “It is imperative that Distributors of CBI-electric products are properly trained to enable them to differentiate between product technologies, identify the dangers associated with incorrect product application and the cost savings achievable due to energy efficiency over the life cycle of a product”.
Two levels of training are currently being presented to all CBI partners and upon completion of this training, their employees receive a CBI certificate and the organisation receives CBI Accreditation, which is displayed at their premises:
Training level 1 module is presented by CBI to all Distributor sales staff. This training module comprises a number of sections that includes an introduction to the CBI Group and product range offering. It covers basic circuit breaker principles of operation and selection (application and energy efficiency) as well as the correct selection of product accessories (MCB and MCCB). An important aspect is a section covering the dangers of sub-standard products.
Training level 2 module is aimed at the technical staff at Distributors. This training module is application based and consists of an introduction to the CBI Group and its product range offering. It covers advanced principles of circuit breaker operation and selection (application and energy efficiency) as well as the correct selection of product accessories (MCB and MCCB).
