Luca –
Good value for money, and a clear and easy to follow course.
Hamidreza –
The Pressure Vessel Design Course based on ASME Section VIII Division 1 was an outstanding learning experience. It provided a solid foundation in the design, analysis, and safety requirements of pressure vessels, combining theoretical knowledge with real-world applications. The course thoroughly covered essential topics such as material selection, design calculations, allowable stresses, joint efficiencies, and inspection/testing requirements. I particularly appreciated the focus on code compliance and how each design decision is driven by safety, reliability, and industry standards.
The instructor’s practical approach and deep knowledge of ASME code made complex topics easy to understand. The inclusion of calculation examples, case studies, and references to actual pressure vessel drawings was extremely helpful in bridging the gap between theory and practice.
