Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This hands-on, highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the following practical methods:- Industrial Facility Visit: Course participants will be taken to an industrial facility where they will practice valve dismantling, assembling, inspection and testing. In case that this course is organized inside client premises (In-House), then the client shall provide access to its valve workshop for practical sessions.
