EQUIPPING ENGINEERS
Our open seminars are an excellent opportunity for engineers to gain the hands-on experience and practical knowledge needed to excel in their roles. These courses are designed to deliver the same high-quality, industry-relevant training as our on-site programs but in an open setting, where participants from various companies can collaborate and learn from one another.
Open Process Engineering Seminars
WHO IT'S FOR
Individual engineers or managers seeking professional development opportunities for their team.
​
WHAT WE COVER
Each course is tailored to equip engineers with the practical skills necessary to address real challenges, topics may vary.
COST & TIME
A typical seminar is four days. Cost may vary but the average open seminar investment is between $2,000 and $3,000.
Active Learning Environment
Our seminars emphasize interactive, hands-on learning. You won’t just sit through presentations—you’ll actively engage in problem-solving exercises, work through real-world case studies, and apply your knowledge to practical scenarios. This approach helps participants walk away with skills they can immediately use in their jobs.
Learn from Industry Experts
Our instructors are seasoned engineers with deep industry experience, ready to guide participants through complex concepts and help them apply what they’ve learned. Expect to engage in meaningful discussions and learn valuable insights from both our experts and your peers.
Network with Industry Professionals
Because open seminars are attended by engineers from a variety of companies and industries, they offer a unique opportunity to network and share experiences. You’ll gain fresh perspectives and make connections that could benefit your career long after the course ends.
