Hilti North America, a global leader providing innovative tools, technology, software, and services to the commercial construction industry has launched Hilti Academy as a comprehensive on-demand training platform for contractors.
According to the company, the announcement affirms Hilti’s investment in digitally transforming the construction industry and strengthens its leadership as a provider of productivity solutions.
New Platform Benefits
Hilti Academy is a digital learning platform that offers contractors on-demand access for when it is most convenient. The 30 to 60-minute courses cover various topics including powder actuated and gas actuated operator training; health and safety trainings; and Adhesive Anchor Installer certification pre-training. More topics, such as firestop, are expected to be released soon.
Interested users can access the Academy by using a current Hilti account or creating a new one. Most modules are completed fully online with an accompanying quiz. The platform automatically saves records for up to two years to download and print for records.
The Hilti Academy not only allows users to manage all Hilti education and records, but it also gives users the ability to manage team members’ education by assigning learning modules and being able to monitor who has received their documentation.
Major Digital Investments
“As technology transforms the construction industry, our digital services portfolio will continue to expand and adapt to meet rapidly changing customer needs, especially during this unprecedented time,” said Rafael Garcia, senior vice president of marketing at Hilti North America.
“Hilti experts have been facilitating digital trainings for some time now through ASK HILTI,” Garcia adds. “Hilti Academy is an expansion and a service that’s dedicated to contractors. Providing online training and digital access to our experts proves that Hilti will continue to offer our customers essential resources to improve the way they do business.”
In recent years, Hilti has made major investments to digitize the construction industry and simply workflow for its customers with its innovations including easier tracking assets (ON!Track); traceable fastenings (TraceFast), and the acquisition of assets of concrete technology startup Concrete Sensors.
