SDH (Equipment) Installation and Commissioning

Overview The SDH equipment course is based upon hands-on and theoretical learning. Each module is designed to be self-standing and builds upon existing modules within the programme. Each module is individually tested; creating a path of development that each delegate must exceed in order to progress to the next related module until they have satisfactorily passed tests for all five modules. Each module contains a study pack that guides the delegate through the individual modules but more importantly also act as reference document when in the field. Duration - 3 Days.

Who will benefit

Anyone who comes into contact with or works within the SDH arena at all levels.

Practical Tests: • Given a room, build a complete set of equipment for filling technical and QA requirements to include hand over to a Client Operator. • Complete a faultfinding programme, for each fault identify correct the fault and the consequence of the fault remaining un-rectified.
