Introduction

Academic partners active in the Siemens GO PLM program are eligible for five “Learning Advantage

Academic Membership for Educators” (TG20000E). The intent of the five TG20000E memberships is to

provide educators access to the training content and become familiar with the capabilities within Learning

Advantage. Furthermore, academic partners with TG20000E are also able to provide free access to their

students to “Learning Advantage Enterprise Academic Gold Membership” (TG22000). The memberships

include a corporate account, which enables educators to monitor their student’s learning progress.



Frequently Asked Questions

What is Learning Advantage?

Learning Advantage is a convenient, easy to use e-Learning portal that enables users to gain skills and

knowledge in Siemens PLM Software products. Learning Advantage contains a library of self-paced courses

and assessments that are updated whenever new PLM software versions are released so that users may remain

current with the latest information. For more information, visit the Learning Advantage homepage:

http://training.plm.automation.siemens.com/mytraining/index.cfm

What is a Learning Advantage TG20000E membership?

TG20000E is equivalent to a corporate gold membership (TG30000) but is exclusive to eligible academic

partners. Educators will use them to get acquainted with material within Learning Advantage to be able to

provide guidance to their students. The memberships remain active as long as the academic institution remains

active in the GO PLM academic program. The corporate account includes tools to manage users and monitor

their learning progress.

What is a Learning Advantage TG22000 membership?

TG22000 compliments TG20000E and is free to students who are enrolled at your academic institution.

Students are able to self-register for TG22000 and it is also equivalent to a gold membership.
