Power Plant

We provide training that gives you, or your operations team, a thorough understanding of plant capabilities and risks at CCGT, Energy Recovery (from Waste or Biomass) or Coal fired Generation Plants.

Our experienced trainers have a vast knowledge of all aspects of Power Plant Operation, including Gas, Biomass, Energy from Waste, CHP,
and Coal Power Plant.

This means we can train you to operate the plant safely and increase plant efficiency, along with giving the learners the confidence to deal with any situation swiftly and effectively and, most importantly, take proactive action to prevent problems occurring in the future.

  • Yes, we can enhance the learner experience by providing the training at your site. The benefits are the practical element of the switching course will be on your HV Equipment so the learner will gain the underpinning knowledge of their site’s equipment and not a generic unit usually found on at a training facility. We will just require access to a spare breaker.

  • Unfortunately, not at this current time. We have the experiences of working under City and Guilds guidelines and we do follow the standards of the process and assessments throughout what we do.
