Course Overview

The course is all about “Enabling the Miracle”, managing the unexpected during the highest risk period of a project. Focusing on areas such as the transition from construction to operations through the continuous process of changing ownership and proving the operability of the newly constructed facilities.

The key objective of the course is to focus on the application and provide a foundation for the execution of tasks by commissioning managers and commissioning engineers.

The course offers in-depth, structured hands-on training, designed for those who need practical tools to use when faced with challenges during the commissioning phases of a project. Avoid the common pitfalls of disregarding pre-commissioning, commissioning, and start-up activities until it is too late to implement effectively, increasing time pressures and budget overruns.

Days 1 – 3 of this course provides a theoretical overview of commissioning and continue on to day 4 and 5 which then incorporates this theory into how commissioning is performed within your company.
