The course will review all aspects of a steam system. During the program, our instructors will teach and illustrate steam system principals. The teams will use and reference CAD prints of an actual steam system operation while completing tasks to practice and demonstrate the acquired knowledge. This ensures maximized comprehension of the training course.

This steam system training course is for all individuals looking to increase their knowledge of steam systems.

During the two-day course, the Steam Group Concept is employed where the attendees work together in teams of two or three.

As with each of the courses, the unique Steam Group Concept is used during the class. The attendees will work in teams of two or three. The team concept has been proven to enhance the experience by permitting a more conducive learning environment.
