This course is intended for I&C technicians and system engineers. No previous experience with the 7300 Process Control System is necessary, although some background in electronics may be helpful.
Consistent with the Nuclearning® Educational Model, the 7300 Process Control System Initial Training Course incorporates numerous student-centered learning activities to help the student learn and remember the concepts being studied. This approach puts the student at the center of the learning process making him an active participant in all learning activities. Specifically, the course incorporates instructor facilitated discussions, classroom exercises, equipment demonstrations, group work exercises, signal tracing, and hands-on troubleshooting. Many actual plant problems are used to provide experience in troubleshooting common system failures.
It is very difficult, in operating plants, to find opportunities to train on actual plant equipment. The 7300 Process Control System Initial Training Course addresses this problem by using hands-on training equipment that is very similar to that found in the actual plant. This equipment provides the student with an invaluable opportunity to work on energized equipment in a safe, learning-friendly environment. In this environment, students can see the effect of switch manipulations, practice procedures, and troubleshoot problems while utilizing all of their human performance skills. The net result is the creation of a learning environment that is as similar to the plant as possible.
