IFTC AntalyaNew Training Thinking(xtracts from article Green Is Not An Add-n)

by Chris Long

What the training industry needs now is a breakthrough in

how training is delivered, and already innovative approaches

are being created. At a ceremony which attracted national

coverage in Antalya, Turkey, a new training facility built by

IFTC was inaugurated.

Naturally the core aim was to be able to provide high quality

training to match that at the Istanbul unit, but a real driver

was also to build a sustainable training facility.

One o the primary considerations orthe selection o the Mechtronix FFS was

the act that it has the lowest energyconsumption by hal o any comparable

simulator.Marty Van Veluw, CEO of IFTC

Train@Home The Mechtronix Train@Home model is a flexible solution that combines the required tailoredFSTD solution with a range of services to achieve a local and cost-effective training solution.
