IMPLEMENTATION OF ASME PCC-2 REPAIR OF PRESSURE EQUIPMENT & PIPING THROUGH CASE STUDIES |
“This course was beautifully done! The presenters are experts in their respective fields and provided detailed information on the repairs of pressure equipment. This course has greatly improved my knowledge on PCC-2 repairs, and I feel more comfortable with tackling these going forward in my company. George is extremely respectful, kind, and funny! In addition to the learnings of the course, he makes me want to be a better human as well 🙂 I would recommend this course to any Mechanical Engineer working in the pressure equipment environment!”
— Senior Mechanical Engineer, SASOL, South Africa
“What I liked the most about this course was that we were supplied with specific material and details to assist us with specific problems. That is extremely generous of your company and really made me feel like I was more than just a client for a single training session. Being able to create that ‘insider’ feeling over digital channels is difficult and I commend you for it!”
