Process engineering is at the heart of much of the chemical, oil, gas, and petrochemical industries. It requires familiarity not only with chemical engineering principles, but also with many of the other engineering disciplines including electrical and instrumentation, but especially mechanical.
The process engineer is interested in the transportation and transformation of solids, liquids, and gases. Of specific importance are separation processes including distillation, heat transfer, hydraulics, and fluid flow, reaction engineering, but also process control and economics.
The mechanical engineer is interested in safe containment and movement of solids, liquids, and gases, often at high temperature and pressure. Of specific importance are failure modes such as fracture, fatigue and creep, corrosion and corrosion minimization, material properties, design standards, static & rotating equipment design, inspection, and repair as well as an understanding of maintenance strategies and condition monitoring. Sound mechanical engineering principles, together with other engineering techniques including inspection, monitoring, and condition evaluation, enable the mechanical engineer to design and maintain the equipment required by the process engineers

Participants will learn about the field of communication for development in this course (C4D). In order to encourage participation and engagement with kids, families, communities, and networks for positive social and behavioral change in both development and humanitarian contexts, C4D is an evidence-based strategy that makes use of a variety of communication tools, channels, and approaches. It incorporates knowledge and ideas from social, behavioral, and communication sciences.
In order to meet these new challenges and take advantage of chances for innovation to bring about behavior and social change, participants in this three-day course will need new and improved communication competencies.
Too often company executives and professionals spend most of their time fixing day-to-day problems. They react to problems, rather than focusing on what they would like the company to be and then on making it happen. This program focuses on changing the way we think from reacting (responding to day-to-day problems, fixing and repairing) to developing plans for what we want to have happened and then implementing the plans.
We all operate in an increasingly complex commercial and professional environment that requires us to negotiate on a daily basis not only with customers, clients, suppliers and contractor, but also with managers, fellow employees and colleagues within our own organisation.
‘Mastering Negotiation Skills’ is a five-day course designed to explain the negotiation process in detail and demonstrate how to use it effectively, giving delegates the negotiation skills and strategies they need to succeed in today’s challenging commercial environment.
"Going back to basics". This is the main theme of this highly interactive course which aims to help participants recognize the need to simplify their organizational processes and procedures. The course will provide the participants with international best practices which will help them understand the causes of complexity and identify areas for improvement by focusing on eliminating waste, simplifying procedures, and standardizing and automating opportunities. Participants in this practical course will also learn tools to map and diagram processes and procedures revealing issues and opportunities for improvement. Various hands-on tools will present participants with the opportunity to transfer this knowledge to their organization and expect immediate results.
Day in, day out, Executive Secretaries and provide high-level support for top executives. They work usually with very little supervision, anticipating needs, and managing the day to day demands of busy and challenging workloads competently and often with little acknowledgment or encouragement!
This training course seeks to develop and stretch the skill-set of EAs This training course will help them to understand how to work with different leadership styles and at the same time develop the competence, confidence, and mindset to achieve excellence and to recognize their value to their organizations.
