Ant Training Academy will further enhance its investment in 2020 to optimize course services and promote the development of global mining industry

Recently, Bitmain Ant Training Academy announced its new policies for 2020, which attracted the attention and heated discussions of the industry. It is reported that the first maintenance training course of Ant Training Academy in 2020 will start in March. The academy will carry out a series of upgrades and optimizations on the course content and student services for mining machine maintenance, and launch a number of reform measures such as the teaching content, fees, and software and hardware benefits of the new type of Ant mining machine.

Excellent transcripts, 2019 student big data released

In July 2019, Bitmain upgraded its long-standing customer maintenance training to the "Ant Training Academy", marking the official establishment of the industry's first professional mining machine maintenance certification brand. Since then, the industry has gained the first training base with standardized and large-scale mining machine maintenance talent output capabilities. Miners can study theoretical and practical courses including daily use, inspection, maintenance, and repair of mining machines at the Ant Training Academy, and receive professional and systematic training in practical skills for mining machine maintenance.

After the opening of Ant Training Academy, with the continuous development of the industry and the successful graduation of some maintenance personnel, the original basic courses can no longer meet the needs of some practitioners. In November last year, Ant Training Academy began to optimize and upgrade the secondary course structure, setting up a more segmented and more gradient composite course system, while improving the pertinence of the courses and improving the learning efficiency of students, and further optimizing the talent structure system of the entire industry.

If the identity of the first mining machine maintenance certification brand in the industry makes Ant Training Academy a pioneer in the industry, then the continuous upgrading and optimization of its courses and services make Ant Training Academy more powerful. According to official data, in 2019, Ant Training Academy held 9 first-level maintenance training sessions, training more than 180 people in total, with a completion rate of 90%; 8 second-level maintenance training sessions, training a total of 120 people, with a completion rate of 88%. A large number of professional talents have graduated from Ant Training Academy, and the mining machine maintenance qualification certificate issued by the academy has also become a recognized "mining machine maintenance certificate" in the industry.

In addition, 15% of the trainees are from overseas, and their mines are located in four continents: Europe, America, Asia, and Africa. In order to better meet the needs of overseas trainees, Ant Training Academy also launched the first overseas field course in Shenzhen in September last year, and completed the construction of the Atlanta branch in the United States in December and started classes smoothly. The establishment of overseas branches, on the one hand, effectively reduces the time and logistics costs of overseas miners to send and repair mining machines, and on the other hand, it is also a reflection of the global mining industry's high recognition of Ant Training Academy. The "multinational force" exported by Ant Training Academy is expected to provide operation and maintenance guarantee services for mines distributed around the world in the future, and become a popularizer and disseminator of advanced maintenance technology.

Upgrade courses and services, the first maintenance class of 2020 will start soon

Entering 2020, as a pioneer in the mining machine maintenance training industry, Ant Training Academy once again launched a number of new policies in response to the times. Industry insiders believe that focusing on optimizing the course knowledge structure and practical content and improving service levels are the key reform directions of Ant Training Academy this year.

According to official information, the college has adjusted the content of the first and second level training courses in 2020. On the basis of the first level course focusing on welding and basic mining machine maintenance, and the second level course focusing on high-computing power mining machine maintenance and skill improvement, the first and second level courses have added content introductions to the new Antminer. Through a two-week theoretical knowledge supplement and maintenance practice, students can strengthen their understanding of the new model and consolidate their maintenance skills, thus avoiding the dilemma caused by the inconsistency between the training model and the actual model.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to upgrading the course content, the institute has also introduced a number of welfare policies to improve student services. The reporter learned from the official that in order to attract more mining professionals at home and abroad to join, Ant Training Academy has issued a series of policies such as fee reductions for students with electronic-related professional skills, fee reductions for retaking students, and "old-to-new" coupons. Obviously, this move will effectively lower the learning threshold for new students, improve the training experience of old students, and enable Ant Training Academy to implement the school's purpose of "enabling more people to learn mining machine maintenance." In addition, according to official sources, starting this year, Ant Training Academy will also open student activities covering online and offline activities, and through strengthening two-way communication with students, timely understand student needs, so as to better improve the service chain of Ant Training Academy. The new round of maintenance courses that students are most concerned about will be launched in March.

In recent years, Bitmain has always focused on both products and services, and has made progress on both fronts. Facing the general trend of future industry development, Ant Training Academy will also continue to optimize course content, establish more overseas branches and other measures to comprehensively improve its mining machine maintenance training service level.

With the gradual improvement of its own training business capabilities and the increasingly perfect global layout, Ant Training Academy also shoulders the industry mission of improving the operation and maintenance capabilities of global mines and promoting the mining industry to develop in a steady and sustainable direction. If it can continue to improve the mining machine after-sales service industry chain and exert its influence as an industry pioneer, Ant Training Academy may better empower major mines around the world in 2020 and become one of the pioneers to promote a new round of industry optimization and upgrading.
