Hello Friends!

Which company do you recommend for a solid hands on short term training(1-5 weeks) in Europe/Asia for electrical engineers?

I wish to get a solid training in one of the following areas:
1- Industrial control system and automation
2- Building installation (data + power)
3- Biomedical equipment maintenance and commissioning
My background: Studied Electrical engineering + Computer Science and work in telecom

Can you give us a list of the companies offering this training that you have found so far? I'm not familar with such training, beyond IT training and certification.

Also, what languages do you speak? Taking a training class in Asia would not seem to be a good match unless you speak fluent Japanese and/or Chinese...
 
Hi @berkeman
Thank you for your reply. I have been searching and really need guidance on this ,here are a couple i have found so far
> Siemens
>ISA
In Software, there are intensive bootcamps on specific technology areas and I wanted to see if there are similar programs in the areas i mentioned. My ultimate plan is to set up a company with specialized service in some of the above areas. I do not speak other languages and I mentioned Asia assuming some sort of international program in English.
 
Here in the UK I think it takes at least 6 months to become a basic qualified Electrician and I think extra courses would be required to learn how to install data networks.

Google City and Guilds 2365
