EPS offer a range of gas turbine training courses which are tailor made to your requirements. We have facilities in Zaragoza, Spain and Loughborough, England where we can deliver these courses. We can also offer courses on site or at a facility local to your plant. Our trainers have delivered courses in the Far East, Africa and even Aberdeen!

Some of the courses we can offer include:

  • Gas turbine theory
  • Operation and maintenance
  • Burner change procedures
  • Rustronic fault finding
  • Package fault finding
  • STAR valve fault finding and calibration
  • Vibration equipment programming and testing
  • AVR/GCP theory and operation
  • Generator protection testing

With our expertise in the SGT and LM engine range plus various control systems we can offer courses tailor made to meet your requirements.

Our trainers encourage active participation in our training courses by asking students to:

  • Engage in discussions
  • Ask questions
  • Share experiences and insights

We believe that active participation helps absorb information more effectively and encourages a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

To help keep people engaged we ensure that we provide as much hands on experience as possible. We hold multiple sets of training equipment to cover various aspects of our range of courses. These can be loaded with site specific settings and software to get a real life feel for conditions on site. This, along with site specific drawings helps set real life situations for students to investigate. We can also examine any recent faults to show how they can be resolved.
