Overview

This course is for engineers and technicians who need to have practical knowledge of selection, installation and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and control valves. In many respects, a clear understanding and application of these principles is the most important factor in an efficient process control system.

This course is for those individuals primarily involved in achieving effective results for the industrial processes they are responsible for. This would involve the design, specification, and implementation of control and measurement equipment. The course focuses on real applications, with attention to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting or installing different measurement or control equipment.

Benefits of Live Online Learning to Employers

-

 - Lower training costs: no travel or accommodation necessary
 - Less downtime: short webinars (60-90 minutes) and flexible training methods means less time away from work
 - Retain employees: keep staff who may be considering a qualification as a full-time study
 - Increase efficiency: improve your engineering or technical employees’ skills and knowledge
 - International insight: students will have access to internationally based professional instructors and students

How Does it Work?

EIT eLearning courses involve a combination of live, interactive sessions over the Internet with a professional instructor, set readings, and assignments. The courses include simulation software and remote laboratory applications to let you put the theory to practice, and provide you with constant support from a dedicated Learning Support Officer.

Practical Exercises and Remote Laboratories

As part of the groundbreaking new way of teaching, our online engineering courses use a series of remote laboratories (labs) and simulation software, to facilitate your learning and to test the knowledge you gain during your course. These involve complete working labs set up at various locations of the world into which you will be able to log to and proceed through the various practical sessions.

These will be supplemented by simulation software, running either remotely or on your computer, to ensure you gain the requisite hands-on experience. No one can learn much solely from lectures, the labs and simulation software are designed to increase the absorption of the materials and to give you a practical orientation of the learning experience. All this will give you a solid, practical exposure to the key principles covered and will ensure that you obtain maximum benefit from your course.
