Welcome to Dräger Academy

For over 40 years, Dräger Academy has been focused on conveying knowledge to our business partners and customers about Dräger products, their practical use and how to maintain and repair them. Dräger delivers comprehensive knowledge of hazardous materials, firefighting, gas measurement technology and personal protective equipment to help you make your daily work safe and effective.

Training Tailored to Your Needs

All Technical Training courses are certified by Dräger Academy. The End User Training program provides information on the proper use, operation and maintenance of Dräger products. The Technical Maintenance courses are designed to provide service personnel with pertinent maintenance information, as well as a more detailed explanation of Dräger product technology. All courses include presentations, hands-on training and a test to confirm that the learning objectives have been achieved. Participants receive a binder with the course materials and a Dräger Academy certificate upon successful completion of the course and test.

Scheduled Courses are offered at our Mississauga, Ontario and Edmonton, Alberta locations throughout the year. Exclusive courses at customer locations are also offered.

Dräger offers three levels of Technical Training courses:

Level 1: End-User Training - Intended for users and technicians
