Seminar Overview
In most facilities, the boiler is the device with the most potential for disaster making boiler operation training a key part of any facility's overall safety. Available in both virtual and in-person, instructor-led formats, this two-day Boiler Operation, Maintenance & Safety course provides students with the practices and procedures to eliminate that potential. It offers a great overview for maintenance technicians, multi-craft tradespeople, building managers, stationary engineers, or anyone seeking to improve their boiler maintenance and operation skills. The goal of this course is to ensure the student gains a comprehensive understanding of commercial, industrial and utility boiler systems. Boiler inspections, operating controls testing and general troubleshooting tips will all be discussed. Overall, this program is designed to help maximize safety, dependability, and efficiency, thus extending boiler life, improving boiler efficiency, saving energy costs for the employer, and establishing a culture of safe work practices among the employees.
This seminar is $1,195 for both days. You can also combine it with our Air Conditioning & Refrigeration course for a comprehensive 4-day HVAC Workshop.

What is Virtual Instructor-led Training (VILT)?
Boiler operation training can be effectively taught in a Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) setting. Live virtual training offers an audiovisual classroom experience over the internet with 100% interaction from the instructor, from the comfort of your own workplace or home. To take advantage of virtual boiler operation training, all you need is an internet connection, a computer or mobile device, a microphone, and a webcam. You can join the live session from anywhere.
VILT can be combined with simulation training, where you practice essential skills in an immersive virtual environment. Simulation-based boiler operation training provides hands-on experience with vital processes and safety procedures, further improving learning retention.
Visit our Virtual Instructor-Led Training page to learn more about the benefits of VILT.
