Steam System Specialist Level One Training
Overview of the Entire Steam System
Steam System Specialist Level One Training is an exciting three-day course. The training program reviews all aspects of a steam system. Steam System Training Level One is targeted for all individuals looking to gain more knowledge of steam systems. The program is designed to provide attendees with a solid foundation and understanding of a total steam system from steam generation through condensate recovery.
The unique Steam Group Concept is used during the class. The attendees work in teams of two or three. This concept has been proven to enhance the experience by permitting a more conducive learning environment.
During the program, our instructors will teach and illustrate true steam system principals. The teams will use and reference CAD prints of an actual steam system operation while completing tasks to practice and demonstrate their acquired knowledge. This ensures maximized comprehension of the training course.
