  • Instrumentation Engineers
  • Technicians
  • Automation Engineers
  • Control Room Operators
  • Maintenance Technicians

COURSE METHODOLOGY:

Facilitated by an experienced TRAINER, our program will be conducted as a highly interactive work session (as opposed to lectures), encouraging participants to share their own experiences and apply their learnings to real-life situations. Each delegate will receive an extensive reference manual, as well as case studies, while worked-out solutions will be handed out to the delegates on the conclusion of group discussions. This training course is designed to be a hands-on, exciting & learning experience..

COURSE DURATION

5 days

COURSE CERTIFICATES

Participants who complete the required contact hours will be awarded a Certificate of Completion.
