PROGRAMME SUMMARY

The need for Plant Start Up and Commissioning is ongoing in any business that is growing, as new plant is added to expand capacity and to replace obsolete technology.

This programme aims to develop employees through exposure to the training and development experience provided by this programme, to build a “cadre” of knowledgeable and skilled staff who will be able to add value through their contributions to any situations involving plant start-up and commissioning.

They will be able to contribute in leadership or operational roles, both with knowledge and skills to ensure such projects are effectively and efficiently managed in a manner consistent with recognised best practices. A spin off benefit will be their ability to coach and impart learning to their peers and subordinates to the mutual benefit of individuals and organisation.
