The “From Operation to Design” Program could be regarded from two perspectives:

1. The course includes all areas of process engineering from design to operation.
2. The course is suitable for operation specialists who want to become process engineering designer.

The course instruction lasts for 6 months but due to some possible time break needed by participants, the course might last for 7 months but in no way, it would not be extended. We know you work and after the work hours you have to attend the classes. That is the reason we give recordings and break time to review what you have learned in the classes or if you could not focus. So don’t worry and be relaxed.
