Back to: Welcome to the ETIM academy
Welcome to the ETIM Academy!
I am Jeroen van der Holst, the Community Director of ETIM International.
I’d like to start off by expressing a big thank you for your interest in the ETIM standards.
The standardisation of product information management and exchange may seem very straight forward, but in fact is a very fascinating topic. There is a lot you will need to know in order to structure and organize your product data so it becomes added value to your business, and to your business partners.
Before we can let you start on your journey to become an expert in the field of the ETIM standards, lets first show you what you can expect in this training platform.
Wether you are a developer or working for a manufacturer, wholesaler or industry and trade organisation, and even if you are an engineer: In this academy we will teach you everything we know, so you can become an expert on the ETIM standards.
This Academy platform consists of a number of courses that are expanding over time, while we constantly add more content. After this introduction I advise you to first continue with the ETIM Essentials course. After that you can continue choosing other courses, based on your background and needs.
Some courses are open to the public. We are an open standard, and so should our training materials be. However, the more advanced courses are preserved for members of the ETIM community. If you are not a member of our community yet, please consider becoming one by contacting your local ETIM organisation. With your membership contribution you will be supporting our work.
We hope you will find our Academy useful and that you will enjoy the training materials.
