Steam System Specialist Level I Training is an exciting three (3) day course. The training program reviews all aspects of a steam system. Steam System Training Level I is targeted for all individuals looking to gain more knowledge of steam systems. The program is designed to provide attendees with a solid foundation of a true understanding of a total steam system from steam generation through condensate recovery.

The unique Steam Team Training Concept TM (STTC) is used during the class. The attendees work in teams of two or three. The STTC concept has been proven to enhance the experience by permitting a more conducive learning environment.

During the program, our instructors will teach and illustrate true steam system principals, independent of specific products or manufacturers. The teams will use and reference AutoCAD prints of an actual steam system operation while completing tasks to practice and demonstrate the acquired knowledge. This insures maximized comprehension of the training course.
