CIM – COMMON INFORMATION MODEL I and II (classroom training)

Summary

The “Common Information Model (CIM)” training course is aimed at employees of distribution and transmission system operators. Participants learn about the Common Information Model and are introduced to practical steps for using and implementing CIM in their own company. The CIM training is divided into three modules: Module 1 – CIM Basic Knowledge and Module 2 – Best Practices and Implementation. In all modules of the training, we place great emphasis on interactive exchange and the transfer of what has been learnt. Accordingly, we also offer a transfer webinar for all participants to share their experiences 2-4 weeks after the CIM training modules.
