Our testimony
We call on IFC TRITECH for training in electricity and hydraulics, so that our technicians can develop their skills in an agile way. IFC TRITECH also provides us with tailor-made training on our runway equipment, which incorporates specific and complex technologies, both in its training centres and on our premises.
All these factors have made IFC TRITECH the preferred training organisation for Air France's ramp equipment division for over 20 years!
For more than 10 years, we have trusted the IFC TRITECH group with our training needs. Their skilled trainers are passionate about their work, which is reflected in the quality of their training courses. Thanks to them, our Loxam technicians develop their knowledge and performance in the field.
For over 20 years, IFC and TRITECH have been the benchmark in the field of hydraulics and lubrication training.
I have met passionate trainers who have enabled me to develop my skills in these areas.
Together with them, we have developed training courses for my employees in the maintenance of unique and complex tools.
