This API 571 training course is conducted for all professionals who are interested in understanding deeply the different types of corrosion, cracking and other damage mechanisms that their equipment may suffer or face in service. The following assets and equipment may suffer from damage mechanisms derived thorough API 571:
All of process piping designed according ASME B31.3 & inspected according to API 570
All of Pressure Vessels designed according ASME Sec VIII & inspected according to API 510
All of Tanks inspected designed according to API 650 & inspected according API 653
This training course will demonstrate deeply all the 66 damage mechanisms contained in the recommended practices API 571. The damage mechanisms in this recommended practice cover situations encountered in the refining and petrochemical industry in pressure vessels, piping, and tankage. The damage mechanism descriptions are not intended to provide a definitive guideline for every possible situation that may be encountered, and the reader may need to consult with an engineer familiar with applicable degradation modes and failure mechanisms, particularly those that apply in special cases.
Be very familiar and aware of all the 66 damage mechanisms stated in Recommended Practices API 571 as well as the different types of corrosion and cracking mechanisms
Be able to distinguish and identify the type, extent and severity of the damage mechanism faced in the plant facilities
Learn to anticipate which equipment may suffer specific damage mechanisms under which design and operating conditions
Know how to inspect for the damage mechanisms and recommended types of inspection methods
Know how to prevent the occurrence of the well-known damage mechanisms
Get prepared for the next API 571 exam and have enough knowledge and skills to pass such exam in order to get the API 571 Inspector certificate
Asset Integrity Engineers

Sustained public relations campaigns can help drive strategic organizational change, build public perceptions and drive reputation with key stakeholders. Well planned and executed campaigns are a cost-effective means of changing perceptions and increasing stakeholder value for an organization.
This powerful program takes a problem-solving approach to the design of PR campaigns. By closely fitting the campaign to core business priorities as well as project objectives campaign design reinforces key messages and organizational strategy. Participants will develop the skills to design, plan, cost, deliver, and evaluate campaigns using the full range of PR media and channels. Case study examples in print and video will be used throughout. Action planning for the workplace to put ideas into action is a strong feature of the program.
The program has been designed to be interactive with several case studies and group exercises. A modular approach will take the delegates through the four stages of Crisis Management - Preparation, Planning, Response, and Recovery. Participative lectures will involve the use of PowerPoint, handout material, work manual with all instructor notes and slides, examples of best practice, and appropriate video/DVD material. The use of flip-charts, syndicate workshops, and reporting back sessions will encourage a fully participative and enjoyable event.
This is a comprehensive career development program intended for those seeking job-related skills in Inspection of Process Industry units for Maintenance, Operational Condition, Corrosion, Safety, Quality Assurance, and Quality Control.
In our modern world, products are developed, launched, upgraded, and re-launched in record times. Agile Product Management is crucial in gaining a competitive advantage and prospering in the fast-moving and ever-changing times. Product managers need to develop interdisciplinary skills that allow them to work effectively and agilely with diverse groups of colleagues, from innovation to product and sales and marketing.
