Introduction

Training course introducion / brief

In industrial environments, accurate measurement and precise control are critical for ensuring the efficiency, safety, and reliability of processes. Engineers and technicians are often called upon to solve complex measurement and control problems by applying technical knowledge and innovative solutions.

Advanced instrumentation systems

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the principles of sensors, transducers, and advanced instrumentation systems, as well as their integration into process control systems. Participants will gain hands-on experience in designing, building, testing, and evaluating instrumentation systems while learning modern calibration and tuning techniques.

By exploring the properties of various process variables and process control systems, participants will develop the knowledge and confidence to address measurement challenges in industrial scenarios. This practical, hands-on course ensures that theoretical studies are reinforced with real-world applications, enabling participants to apply their skills effectively in the workplace.

COURSE METHODOLOGY

Our Training programs are implemented by combining the participants' academic knowledge and practical practice (30% theoretical / 70% practical activities).

At The end of the training program, Participants are involved in practical workshop to show their skills in applying what they were trained for. A detailed report is submitted to each participant and the training department in the organization on the results of the participant's performance and the return on training. Our programs focus on exercises, case studies, and individual and group presentations.
