This document provides information about a 3-month online certificate course in control valve sizing, selection, and maintenance. The course consists of 12 modules delivered over live interactive webinars and self-study. Participants will learn about control valve fundamentals, types, sizing, characteristics, actuators, cavitation, noise, materials, and maintenance. Completing the course assignments and webinars will result in a Professional Certificate of Competency in Control Valve Sizing, Selection and Maintenance from the Engineering Institute of Technology. The course is aimed at providing knowledge to better utilize and benefit from control systems.

Commencing work immediately in Fluid System Applications Engineering after graduating, he expanded his focus in later years to the plant management of the manufacture of fluid sealing and transport equipment. In the past decade as a private consultant, he has worked extensively in designing and troubleshooting complex fluid transport systems and equipment. When not working long hours on the design, commissioning and troubleshooting of pumps and pipelines, Rob squeezes some time in for his Harley Davidson motorbike and scuba diving expeditions. He has done many presentations and workshops throughout the world and was placed third in the world in an international pumps, "Train the Trainer" workshop in Boston, Massachusetts in 1998. One of his passions and sources of enjoyment is in instructing technical courses. No matter whether you have very little knowledge or are a veritable guru; you will be sure to take away useful knowledge from his courses, which you can immediately apply to your business. BENE FITS OF LIVE E-LE ARNING • Attend lessons in an online classroom with your instructor and fellow students • Upgrade your skills and refresh your knowledge without having to take valuable time away from work • Receive information and materials in small, easy to digest sections • Learn while you travel - all you need is an Internet connection • Have constant support from your course instructor and coordinator for the duration of the course • Interact and network with participants from around the globe and gain valuable insight into international practice • Learn from international industry experts, based around the globe • Live interactive webinars, not just a ‘book on the web’ • Receive a certificate of completion for CPD purposes Pr esentation format The certificate program features real-world applications and uses a multi-pronged approach involving self-study, interactive online webinars and homework assignments with a mentor on call. The course consists of 12 modules, over a period of 3 months. Some modules may involve a practical component or group activity. For each module there will be an initial reading assignment along with coursework or problems to be handed in and practical exercises in some cases. Participants will have ongoing support from their instructor and course coordinator. Course reading material will be delivered in electronic (PDF) format in advance of online presentations. Presentations and group discussions will be conducted using a live interactive software system. Assignments will be submitted electronically and wherever possible, practical exercises will be conducted using simulation software and remote labs. liv e webinars During the program you will participate in 6 live interactive sessions with the instructor and other participants from around the world. Each webinar will last approximately 60 to 90 minutes, and we take student availability into consideration wherever possible before scheduling webinar times. Contact us for details of webinar session scheduling. All you need to participate is an adequate Internet connection, speakers and a microphone. The software package and setup details will be sent to you prior to the course. 12 modu les over 3 months overvi ew: Control valves are the workhorse of our facilities, continually functioning to ensure our systems work as intended. A properly specified, engineered, designed, installed, and maintained control valve can be one of the most profitable investments a facility can have, while a control valve that "does not work well" can be an increased risk of injury (more exposure of maintenance personnel working on the valve), and disruption to your system. With today's focus on data management, the control valve is the part of the control loop that not only requires integration with modern data collection methods, but also involves mechanical features (moving parts, exposure to process fluids, material selection issues) as well as occupational health and safety issues not associated with other parts of the control loop (such as noise). Often the benefits of modern SCADA systems can be lost with inappropriate or minimal attention to the control valves. This comprehensive certificate course covers the essentials of control valves and actuators. With this knowledge, the user is better placed to fully realize the full potential and benefit of any control system. Selections of case studies are used to illustrate the key concepts with examples of real world working control valves. The course is aimed at those who want to get a solid appreciation of the fundamentals of their control valve design, installation and troubleshooting.
