“There’s been huge
demand from our
customers. People
are interested and
curious to see this.”
– Thomas Kirchmair, PRINOTH
Participants set the pace
Participants can take part either
individually or as part of a team, and
they can also set their own pace,
independent of the other participants.
Kirchmair says because not everyone
has the same experience and skills,
they can start wherever they want in
the program.
“They can skip any training that is
not important to them,” he said.
For ski resort operations
management, the e-learning platform
offers team-based reporting. For
example, the status and test results of
a resort’s entire team can be viewed
online at any time.
The e-learning course material
is presented through a three-level
progressive system:
1. Basic: Participants get the necessary
basic knowledge in relation to
technical aspects of snow grooming,
slope preparation and handling of
Prinoth vehicles.
2. Advanced: Participants deepen
their knowledge of the art of snow
grooming and broaden this with
additional learning elements such as
snow park functions, the correct use
of electrical and electronic systems
and proper cable winch operation
and maintenance in Prinoth vehicles.
3. Expert: Participants reach a
professional level in snow grooming
vehicle operation and servicing.
At the end of each level, participants
must pass a test to move on. Those
who successfully complete the entire
e-learning package receive an official
certificate as proof that they received
professional training from Prinoth.
After completing the e-learning
step, customers moving on to the
next levels of Prinoth Academy’s
theoretical and practical training
can choose to have it delivered at
either their own place of business or
a Prinoth dealership or office location.
As part of its flexible approach to
training, Prinoth will also tailor its
professional education programs to
meet the specific needs of ski resorts
and participants.
“At Prinoth, we want to support our
customers with better training for our
vehicles,” Kirchmair said. “We want
to help them reduce their operating
costs, achieve higher efficiencies
and create better slopes for the
final customer for all of us, which is
the skier.”
Those wishing to sign up for
the Prinoth Academy e-learning
program can register online at
