Training in the UK

Training options

Renishaw recognises that training requirements vary according to territory and industry, and as a result provides a variety of training options to help you exploit the full potential of your laser and ballbar systems.

Renishaw can provide training both in-house at our high quality training facilities or at your site.

Training in-house takes place in a dedicated lecture room with AV facilities as well as on a selection of modern machine tools including multi-axis machines in the adjacent demonstration rooms.

All of our training courses are performed by our vastly experienced engineers who have dedicated themselves to promoting best practices across the industry.
