Course description
Professional Certificate of Competency in Instrumentation Automation and Process Control
This course is for engineers and technicians who need to have a practical knowledge of selection, installation and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and control valves. In many respects a clear understanding and application of these principles is the most important factor in an efficient process control system.
This course is for those individuals primarily involved in achieving effective results for the industrial processes they are responsible for. This would involve the design, specification and implementation of control and measurement equipment. The course focuses on real applications, with attention to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting or installing different measurement or control equipment.
Presentation Format
EIT courses are presented using modern delivery methods including: self-study, interactive online webinars, simulation software and self-study assignments with unlimited access to mentors and advisors.
There are 6 live, interactive classroom sessions, presented by EIT instructors.
