| Information on Training Courses and workshops
|
|
| We have an on going training program which is aimed at making our engineers competent at servicing the equipment we support and also understanding the applications of the equipment. It is only if we understand our clients applications, that we will be able to support the equipment to their requirements.
|
|
The training courses, workshops and seminars we advertise or arrange, are mostly driven by our in-house needs. This may arise from client requests or due to new equipment or new applications that we are involved in.
We would welcome any recommendations for courses or for you to join us for any of the courses offered. Just contact us and let us know how we can help.
|
|
| We will also freely advertise any training offered by other companies, universities or institutions that may benefit our staff or our clients. |

Fractography Course |
|

There is interest in running a course in South Africa again.
|
|
|
Presented by John Pomfret
John spent over 25 years working at Rolls Royce Jet engine design and manufacture in the UK.
His knowledge on material and stress of materials is vast. But given the amount of work done on gearbox design and monitoring, his work in using microscopes to identify materials and resolve problems from the data attained is what makes this course very interesting.
