Training consists of a series of classroom lectures, with audio/visual aids, using a proprietary facility specific text lasting approximately 4 weeks at the ITO Training Facility in Houston.
 |
The curriculum will be taught by seasoned professional instructors with actual hands on operational experience in power plants. |
|
The curriculum will cover the fundamentals of gas turbine and synchronous alternator design and operation as well as balance of plant equipment. |
|
The power plant will be divided into systems. Each system studied individually and then in the context of the whole plant. |
|
Classroom instruction will be followed by plant visits to similar facilities installed and operating. |
|
Trainees receive 10 days of “on-the-job-training” at the actual power plant prior to start-up. |
|
The trainees will be tested periodically throughout the training program to measure their skill levels, retention of information and qualification to operate. |
|
The trainees will be the operators used during plant start-up. |
|
Each trainee that satisfactorily passes the minimum requirements will be awarded a certificate of qualification as an operator. |
