The Ant Training Academy is part of Bitmain's continued commitment to improve cryptocurrency mining standards, encourage more sustainable practices and bring credibility to the industry," said Jiang Zhihua, Bitmain's Global Marketing Director in Shenzhen.
ATA's Maintenance Training Course is designed to educate maintenance personnel for mining farms on how to install, operate, and repair mining equipment. The course runs for a two week period in Shenzhen, China.
