INTRODUCTION TO COMMISSIONING MANAGEMENT 2-DAY COURSE ..... - 25th October 2018
Introduction to Commissioning Management 2-day Course
Established in 1990, the CSA is an association for the commissioning industry within the construction world. Its membership comprises commissioning industry companies, individual commissioning engineers and associated companies (such as equipment manufacturers and instrument suppliers), who have a vested interest in ensuring that the commissioning function in today's complex built environment is carried out to a uniformly high standard.
With an already established and renowned portfolio of training courses, the CSA has constructed the ‘Introduction to Commissioning Management’ course to give real life insight and guidance to the entire Commissioning Management Process.
This 2-day course is split into 8 sessions, providing exercises to assess and guide Delegates through specific activities. Each session contains:
- the source material
- detailed guidance through the process
- an interactive session “exercise” to end each session
On successful completion of all 8 sessions each delegate will be awarded a CSA Introduction to Commissioning Management certificate and CSA members who are a Grade 5 and have the relevant path of development experience would then be able to apply for their Grade 6.
Course Location
In keeping with its other training programmes, this course will be conducted at the CSA offices in Horsham, West Sussex.
Course Dates - the next course dates in 2019 are: (5 & 6 February / 9 & 10 April 2019)
Although the final dates have yet to be confirmed, it is envisaged that three courses will be run during the latter part of this year, in the months of October, November and December.
