TRAINING FACILITIES

Our in-house training facilities include:

Programmes also include visits to the service repair centre and demonstrations of the THomassen Online Monitoring (THOMS) system. When we conduct training at a clientís location, we combine classroom sessions and visual presentations with practical instruction close to the machinery. This gives trainees ample opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to their own machines.

Instructors are full-time professionals with long experience of all aspects of turbine operation, maintenance and control technology. They are fluent in numerous languages and use technical interpreters when there are unusual language requirements.
