EIC Training consists of:

Technical Workshops

The one day Technical Workshops take the form of presentations at the premises of manufacturing companies and include site-tours and demonstrations so enabling attendees to gain hands on experience of a wide-range of equipment and products. The workshops cover classroom explanations of components, features, engineering, operation, maintenance, performance and testing followed by a factory tour. This enables attendees to appreciate and understand the manufacturing process, assembly and testing involved in production. The Technical Workshops are suitable for those who would like to increase their awareness of the equipment or product they may be procuring/engineering.

Industry Overviews

Industry Overviews are one-day courses which provide an overview of a particular sector. Topics include Power, Subsea, Oil and Gas, Renewables, Nuclear, LNG and Petrochemicals. These courses are delivered by instructors with considerable experience in the industry. The Industry Overviews are designed for those new to the industry or to a particular sector. They are especially suitable for those in a non-technical role. Several of the Industry Overviews courses offer site visits to complement the presentations.

Business & Management Courses

Business and Management courses are available to new and experienced managers. A range of courses are provided including legal topics and cultural awareness. Experienced industry instructors use role-play, case studies, scenarios, group discussion and assignments.

Pricing: EIC workshops and training courses are offered at highly competitive rates; we aim to offer the best value in the market.

In-house Training: If you would like us to deliver any of our courses at your premises on a date to suit you, please contact [email protected] for further information.

Bespoke Development Solutions: If the course you require is not listed in our training brochure we may be able to develop a bespoke solution for your organisation; contact [email protected].

Health, Safety and Environment Training

Health, Safety and Environment training courses provide guidance and direction on a range of Health, Safety and Environment topics. This training will benefit those with a responsibility for compliance with UK and European legislation. There are a number of courses still under development and we expect to offer a range of Health, Safety and Environment courses later in the year. Please keep an eye on our website for the latest information.

Who should attend

This workshop is suitable for anyone with an interest in CCS technologies, who wishes to gain an overview of the issues involved and some technical background. No previous knowledge or experience is required.

Overview

This one day workshop will provide an overview of CCS technology concentrating on capture and geological storage, but will also include the carbon economy, legislative drivers, economics, finances, who will ultimately pay and through what mechanism, and CO2 transportation and enhanced oil recovery.

The workshop will provide an introduction to the carbon economy, explain pre-combustion capture and discuss C02 transportation. It will also explain what happens to the captured CO2, and discuss enhanced oil recovery.

Who should attend

This workshop is for managers, engineers, graduates, operators, maintenance and other personnel requiring general centrifugal pump familiarisation, specifically in the areas of specification, design engineering and testing of centrifugal pumps.

Overview

This workshop has been designed for the engineer who is new to centrifugal pump applications, or for individuals who are involved with centrifugal pumps but have received no formal training in this area.

The training will allow the engineer to gain an appreciation of centrifugal pumps from the initial selection of the pump hydraulics and mechanical design, to the manufacturing and testing of the product. The course will be presented in the following sections: Pump basics hydraulic design, mechanical design and

pump seals. Appreciation of manufacture, assembly and testing will also be provided via a works tour that will guide attendees through the facilities.

The workshop will provide attendees with a general understanding of the inner workings of a centrifugal pump and the key engineering principles involved in their selection and design. It is intended to provide a broad overview of the centrifugal pump selection process, both from a hydraulic and mechanical viewpoint.

Who should attend

Engineers, graduates and other personnel involved in the specification, design, verification, operation and maintenance of pressure containing plant, mechanical or structural joints, rotating equipment, pipelines or piping systems.

Overview

This course is designed for people who require an understanding of the theoretical, practical and management aspects of bolted joints in pressurised and structural applications. The initial part of the course is based on the ECITB TEC Skills Unit PF010 (Joining Pipework Using Flanged Joints), PF018 (Assembling & Tensioning Bolted Connections) & PF019 (Assembling & Torque of Bolted Connections) and aims to give a practical appreciation of bolting issues. This is followed by a hands-on demonstration of equipment and a factory tour.

The afternoon is split into two sessions. The first session concentrates on how design codes such as the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code and EN1591 handle

flange-bolting calculations. The second session looks at systems to manage joint integrity and the software tools available to carry out bolt load calculations.

Participants may submit questions on engineering, technical and operational issues faced in their jobs in advance. Attendees’ understanding of the course will be assessed through question and answer periods and workshop assignments at the end of the course.

Using the subjects that appear in a typical contract

contents list, the course explains the issues underlying the contract text: the problems which the draftsmen are trying to solve and some of the common solutions and pitfalls. Contract strategy is illustrated by a case study.
