Courses are conducted in the English or Dutch language by a professional instructor. All instructors are experianced in the design, operation, control and maintenance of compressors.

Course materials
Participants receive a course instruction and reference manual on arrival. This 400-page document covers the entire course. It combines text with images and diagrams, and includes reference material for further private studies.

At the end of the fifth day, participants will receive a course certificate.

Individual components - such as valves, rings, hydraulic tools, stuffing box parts, impellers, seals, etc. - are on display at all times.
