Power Generation Operations
Course Description
The aim of this course is to provide engineers technician, and new entrants to the Power Generation and Oil & Gas sectors, the core skills to enable them to make an immediate impact within these essential industries. This course will equip the candidates with the necessary technical knowledge and competence. They will have a clear understanding of the methods of Power Generation and possess key skills that can be used within this field. The candidates will gain the maximum knowledge and that this will increase their effectiveness and understanding. During the course the candidates will become familiar with a wide and diverse range of equipment across the array of trades and disciplines within this sector. Throughout the course a focus on health and safety in the workplace will be emphasized to ensure that the candidates adopt the same safe practice within industry employment as they do on the course. In addition to this the candidates will be able to identify the roles and responsibilities of the personnel operating within a Power Plant, demonstrate an understanding of the design and operation of a Power Plant and competently undertake diagnostic checks and fault diagnosis.

Electrical Engineers, Power Generation Engineers, Power System Protection Engineers, Gas turbine newcomers and more experienced persons who desire an overview of the many available gas turbine technologies, Personnel, Electrical and Instrumentation Technicians & Maintenance Technicians & Supervisors, Plant Operators & Technicians, Oil & Gas Industry Personnel.
