Hands-on and focused – that’s more than just a slogan; it’s a real opportunity for the future! Before the Swiss Institute of Feed Technology (SFT) was founded in 1979, there was no opportunity to train as a manager of a compound feed plant and to learn how to handle and maintain it. But now it is no longer necessary for managers in this industry to laboriously gather their knowledge while also having avoidable negative experiences.
My knowledge for the feed mill core processes went from 10% to 80% and I would feel confident to discuss with a customer certain processes of a feed mill.
The Diploma Course was a very challenging and rewarding experience. Understanding the theory behind the processes and machinery working principles and being able to apply this knowledge in my company allowed me to develop professionally. One year after I graduated, I was given the opportunity to start the development of a Technology Department within the company.
An all-round successful course with deep insights into the future challenges of the feed industry. The field trip to a nearby feed mill, the hands-on training on the equipment at the GTC and the lecture on increasing efficiency in the feed mill were the highlights. Networking opportunities were added as a valuable bonus.
I really liked the practical focus of the course. Due to the small number of participants, individual needs were adressed very well.

INTENSIVE COURSE
31.05. – 26.05.2021
Aim of this advanced training is to provide graduates of the Swiss School of Milling SMS, in addition to their existing knowledge and experience, theoretical and practical expertise in feed technology and thus to expand their professional competence.
Due to the constant change and increased consolidation of feed mills, it is of particular importance to meet the increasingly higher demands regarding end product quality and variety as well as the ever more demanding market competition. The resulting changes in the production facilities require highly trained, flexible and broadly based professionals and managers in the field of process engineering.
As a result, graduates are in a position to take over management functions in various production areas due to their additionally acquired technological expertise in the field of feed milling. Furthermore, they benefit from scientific knowledge tailored to the activity in compound feed production.
