Training Methods
Your specialist course leader relies on a highly interactive training method to
enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a
complete understanding of all topics covered. The training environment is highly
stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by
case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught to their own
organization.
Each delegate will receive a copy of the following materials written by the
instructor:
* The relevant material of the 'ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT HANDBOOK' published by
McGraw-Hill in 2003 (600 pages)
* Electrical Equipment Maintenance, inspection, diagnostics, testing,
troubleshooting, refurbishment, and protective systems Manual (500 pages)
Trainer
Your specialist course leader has more than 32 years of practical engineering
experience with Ontario Power Generation (OPG), one of the largest electric
utility in North America. He was previously involved in research on power
generation equipment with Atomic Energy of Canada Limited at their Chalk River
and Whiteshell Nuclear Research Laboratories.
While working at OPG, he acted as a Training Manager, Engineering Supervisor,
System Responsible Engineer and Design Engineer. During the period of time, he
worked as a Field Engineer and Design Engineer, he was responsible for the
operation, maintenance, diagnostics, and testing of gas turbines, steam
turbines, generators, motors, transformers, inverters, valves, pumps,
compressors, instrumentation and control systems. Further, his responsibilities
included designing, engineering, diagnosing equipment problems and recommending
solutions to repair deficiencies and improve system performance, supervising
engineers, setting up preventive maintenance programs, writing Operating and
Design Manuals, and commissioning new equipment.
Later, he worked as the manager of a section dedicated to providing training for
the staff at the power stations. The training provided by him covered in detail
the various equipment and systems used in power stations.
In addition, he has taught courses and seminars to more than four thousand
working engineers and professionals around the world, specifically Europe and
North America. He has been consistently ranked as 'Excellent' or 'Very Good' by
the delegates who attended his seminars and lectures.
He written 5 books for working engineers from which 3 have been published by
McGraw-Hill, New York. Below is a list of the books authored by him;
* Power Generation Handbook: Gas Turbines, Steam Power Plants, Co-generation,
and Combined Cycles, second edition, (800 pages), McGraw-Hill, New York,
