Process Controls and Instrumentation Training for Electrical Engineers

(Training + Skill Assessment + Certification + Project)

Overview

Process Controls and Instrumentation Training is designed for electrical engineers who work in automated industries such as petrochemical plants, oil & gas refineries, pharmaceuticals, food processing units, steel plants, power plants, water treatment plants, and manufacturing industries. The program builds strong practical knowledge of sensors, transmitters, controllers, industrial automation, SCADA, PLC-based process control, and instrumentation safety.

Before training, we assess each participant’s understanding of instrumentation devices, control loops, wiring, calibration, logic, and troubleshooting skills. This helps us identify skill gaps and provide targeted training. After training, participants receive certification along with project experience that reflects their real industrial capabilities.

Why Skill Assessment Is Important

Skill assessment helps engineers understand their strengths and areas that require improvement. It evaluates:

Basic understanding of instrumentation and sensors
Wiring, loop checking, and calibration skills
Ability to work with control loops and logic systems
Knowledge of field devices, controllers, and safety systems
Troubleshooting techniques in process industries

The assessment ensures that training is customized to the participant’s needs, making them more confident and job-ready.
