Overview
This course provides focused training in non-destructive examination and welding quality assurance. It addresses practical requirements encountered in fabrication, repair and maintenance of welded oil and gas components. Participants explore the technical principles behind reliable decision-making and day-to-day execution. The learning experience uses relevant field examples, guided exercises and technical discussions. The program is intended for engineers, technical specialists, supervisors and related operational personnel. Content depth, case studies and delivery methods can be adapted to the client’s equipment, priorities and participant experience.
