How do I use Ask Hilti ?
There are three parts of the platform:
- Community – ask questions for fast, expert advice from Hilti Engineers and other professionals, and join discussions with the wider engineering community on some of the most challenging and innovative applications/concepts like seismic, retrofitting, concrete to concrete post-installed connection(s), fire safety etc.
- Education – engage with Hilti on-demand/live webinars on innovative topics and be awarded with Participation Certificates.
- Articles – regularly added to the platform, read up on recent projects, expand your knowledge on anchor designs, educate yourself on the latest standards and comment on articles.
A handy search function allows you to easily delve into the archive of webinars, articles, and questions.
The user profile section is where you'll find the following:
- Certificates - Keep all your certificates in one handy place on the Ask Hilti platform! Certificates are awarded and emailed to you when you watch a webinar. Your certificates are collated in your profile where you can also upload certificates from other sources.
- Reputation Points and Badges – Reputation points and badges can be earned through your activities on the platform such as reaching milestones (for example, first question posted or 5 certificates earned) and, also through the activities of others such as upvoting your questions or answers (refer to +Up Vote buttons in Q&A).
