Our course tutors have specialist knowledge in their field and are chosen for their engineering industry experience. They all have many years of industrial experience and, in most cases are still involved in their specialised subjects. Their specialisms include welding, NDT, piping/bolting/jointing, pipelines, PRVs and pressure system design. We do not use lecturers with predominantly academic or ‘college lecturer’ backgrounds.

Course material is written by individual specialists in conjunction with Mr Cliff Matthews CEng FIMechE who is an experienced mechanical inspection engineer and course presenter. He has 20 years experience as a mechanical engineer and inspector worldwide and has written more than 15 technical books for I MechE and ASME in this field. Several course uses subject matter from the books and course fees includes the supply of the relevant course books for each delegate.
