Saipex Academy
Experienced trainers, tools, technological research and methodologies are the strengths of our training proposal.
The academy is based on 4 pillars:
- Expertise backed by experience.
- Usability of acquired expertise.
- Personalize the learning experience.
- Experiential Learning & Community
Expertise backed by experience
Know-how is an essential element in Saipex’s approach to various projects, including training.
This “know-how” acquired in the field allows you to have:
- teachers prepared in theory and competent in practical applications, equipped with a 360 ° expertise ranging from perfect mastery of specific issues to a methodological approach to the subject;
- a wealth of professional experiences focused, resolved, analyzed, codified and, subsequently adapted to training needs that become high quality content for an effective transfer of skills based on real needs.
Usability of acquired expertise
Saipex is strongly oriented towards guaranteeing its clients the usability at all times of the training expertise acquired:
- formal usability, through the issue of certification by internationally accredited bodies;
- an informal usability, through its authority built over the years of operation in the field, between:
- projects developed and collaboration with high-profile clients;
- constant R&D activity and constantly open dialogue with universities;
- accreditation as an IECEx exam center.
Personalization
Saipex’s client-oriented approach requires strong flexibility based on the real needs of companies, the labor market and professionals.
For companies, customization is offered on three distinct levels:
- Home training, offering companies theoretical lessons, workshops and exam sessions at their premises;
- Adaptation of contents, offering the possibility to modify educational content based on installations and machinery present in the company;
- Personalized training, building the training path directly with the client based on their internal needs.
For professionals, our Academy defines growth paths based primarily on the real expertise required by the sector, to promote and develop increasingly future-oriented professional profiles.
Experiential Learning & Community
First-hand experience is an essential factor in the process of consolidating acquired knowledge and building professional expertise.
Precisely for this reason, Saipex adopts, in its value creation processes, two of the strongly characterizing elements of experientiality: the workshop and the Community.
The workshop, activated in the Prato headquarters and in small part transportable, provides clients with a space in which to put into practice the concepts acquired.
The community, on the other hand, allows you to share experiences, doubts and high-value content even after the training provided.
The Scientific Direction
The ten-year experience of the two Saipex founders, both in the academic and professional fields, guarantees the Academy a constant research program, training and in-depth activities with high added value.
