Is this course right for me?
This course is delivered entirely through computer-based simulation, giving you the opportunity to train on industry-standard software that mirrors real-world control room environments. You will develop practical experience by running scenarios that replicate the safe operation of industrial plants and processes.
Your learning and assessment will include:
- Virtual start-ups and shutdowns – practising the safe sequencing of plant operations.
- Component recognition – identifying pumps, valves, heat exchangers and other key elements within a simulated process system.
- “What-If” exercises – responding to simulated system changes, process upsets or failures to develop confidence in problem-solving.
By working entirely through realistic process control simulations, you will build the knowledge and confidence to take your next step towards an apprenticeship, further training or a career in energy, process and manufacturing industries.
This is a classroom based course, and takes place at our Haverfordwest Campus.
