en.Wedoany.com Reported - The world's first mining training center to receive FACT (Festo Authorized and Certified Training) certification from Festo Didactic was recently established in Chile. The Industrial and Mining Training Center (CEIM) has been officially included in this global industrial technology training excellence network, as its infrastructure, technical equipment, teaching methods, and instructor capabilities all meet stringent standards.
The certification took effect after a Festo South American delegation completed an evaluation of CEIM's facilities. The delegation included Ligia De Oliveira, Didactic Head for South America; Rodrigo Guarnizo, Sales Manager; Juan Pablo Quinteros, Business Driver; and Jorge Benítez, Senior Consultant. They confirmed that CEIM meets the FACT model requirements in both technical and training aspects.
Rodrigo Guarnizo Gómez (Sales Manager, Festo Didactic) noted that CEIM had been a long-term focus for the team due to its extensive work in helping people advance their careers and enter the production sector with more tools and knowledge. Students have access to the latest developed technologies already applied in the industry, which Festo appreciates and finds gratifying. The entire certification process encompassed a comprehensive evaluation of infrastructure, equipment, training programs, and teaching capabilities, while also verifying professional instructor training and the adoption of methods aligned with international standards in automation and robotics.
CEIM General Manager José Antonio Díaz stated that the certification not only validates technical and methodological capabilities but also recognizes the training programs the center has developed in collaboration with the mining industry for over 25 years. CEIM now possesses a training platform that integrates international standards in automation and robotics with mining skills development, creating a highly differentiated value proposition. Pablo Lobos, Capability Development Manager, added that the FACT certification confirms CEIM's facilities, instructors, and training methods meet modern industrial needs, and that this platform can be leveraged to further strengthen areas such as automation, robotics, digital transformation, and new technologies, contributing to skills development in the mining sector and the national production sector.
By joining the FACT international network, CEIM gains new opportunities in developing specialized programs, advanced instructor training, technology updates, and collaboration with enterprises and educational institutions, thereby enhancing access to world-class technical training in northern Chile. Festo Didactic is the educational division of Festo, a German leader in industrial automation. Its FACT network specifically certifies training centers that meet excellence standards in infrastructure, equipment, methods, and instructor quality, dedicated to providing cutting-edge industrial technology training for complex production operations.
