Self-training seems simple and economical. It attracts many design offices and installers who want to save time. However, when it comes to specialised professional software such as SchemELECT, SchemBAT or SchemPID, this approach quickly shows its limitations. These powerful tools require a clear methodology, solid best practices and mastery of complex technical standards. At FTZ, we see companies every day that waste time or accumulate errors because they have not taken the time to train properly.
A demanding learning curve
Our software combines advanced features: electrical diagram design, terminal blocks, BIM modelling, cable and cabinet management. Self-training means not only discovering the interface, but also understanding the business logic. Without guidance, methodology and configuration are not optimal. Errors creep in: unused shortcuts, non-compliance with standards, manual tracking, manual lists, lost interaction, etc.
However, during our training courses, we directly teach the right methods and help our customers optimise their creation and modification processes, avoiding common pitfalls.
The absence of structure and evaluation
Self-directed learning often lacks structure. What steps should you take? Which functions should you prioritise? How can you validate your learning? Many users focus on secondary details and overlook the fundamentals. That’s why we’ve developed structured, Qualiopi-certified learning paths. This ensures progressive, measured and effective learning.
Bad habits that hinder projects
Learning on your own often leads to improvisation. Everyone invents their own symbols, libraries or conventions. The result: inconsistent projects that are difficult to share and maintain. With our training courses, we teach standards and best practices. We help to implement consistent methods that streamline collaborative work.
Hidden time that costs a lot
Self-training may seem free, but it costs a lot in terms of productivity. Searching for tutorials, testing functions, correcting your own mistakes… all of this adds to the time spent. On the contrary, our training courses drastically reduce this wasted time. We work directly on practical examples so that every hour of training produces immediately usable results.
Resources that do not replace expertise
We provide documentation and technical support. However, we know that these resources, although useful, are no substitute for direct interaction with an expert trainer. Complex situations, such as specific standards, software integration and customer requirements, call for tailored support. That is exactly what we offer: training courses tailored to your objectives, designed by our experts who understand your constraints.
Discipline, a major obstacle to self-learningDiscipline, a major obstacle to self-learning
Self-directed learning requires time, consistency and strong discipline. In the workplace, daily emergencies often get in the way of learning. That’s why our training courses provide a structured framework, a steady pace and a balance between theory and practice. We also offer post-training support to help your teams stay on track and consolidate what they’ve learned.
Compliance and certification
Modern projects require compliance with standards, whether electrical regulations or specific P&ID rules. Simply using our software is not enough: you need to use it correctly. Our Qualiopi-certified training courses ensure that your teams not only master the tool, but also the standards expected by your customers and partners.
Conclusion: transforming a tool into a real performance lever
Self-training may be suitable for basic uses. But as soon as a project becomes complex or collaborative, it reaches its limits. At FTZ, we have designed our training courses to transform your software into real performance drivers. Structure, standards, efficiency, compliance and support: everything is designed to ensure that your teams get the most out of SchemELECT, SchemBAT, SchemPID and all of our solutions.
The difference is clear: where self-training leads to wasted time and errors, our support creates concrete, lasting and measurable results, allowing you to capitalise on future projects.
