Course participant reviews for Institution of Chemical Engineers
Average rating 5
"I found it helpful to focus on the facilitation and getting the most out of the team rather than getting bogged down in the detail of the HAZOP itself - this is pitched at the ...
The case studies provided emphasised the importance of hazard identification techniques and explained the scenarios where they are best employed.
The course gave a good overview of various hazard identification techniques, reinforcing knowledge I already had and introducing me to new topics. Helen presented the course rea...
The course provided an excellent grounding in capital project management in the process industries.
Preparing and giving presentations in a short amount of time/under pressure is a skill – so it was good practice for that. Geoff was an engaging speaker and we had some thought-...
The course improved my self-confidence in presenting.
The course doesn't just cover A–Z steps on how to improve but also lets us deal with the 'why we struggle to improve' and how to overcome that.
It offered a good balance of theory and practical. I enjoyed the practical application elements which really helped reinforce my learning.
I liked the structured approach. I learnt a lot from Nigel. Nigel is very accommodating and his many years of experience comes through as he explains concepts and approaches. We...
The theory and principles were covered very well and the worked examples enabled me to put them into practice.
Very clear structure and reminders of the process safety principles as well as application to hydrogen/ammonia etc. Lots of examples and visuals.
It gave the basis I was hoping for. Jamie was very enthusiastic and checked with us what subjects we wanted to cover which was much appreciated.
Excellent trainer who explained the content well in an accessible but thorough manner, with useful opportunities to practice questions.
The course had some specific content that I think will be useful in my role, but also the engineering mindset was useful. There was a lot of thorough thinking involved.
The course conveyed the key aspects of Delta HAZOP and its benefits over other revalidation techniques.
It was good to learn about other industries and their challenges and what works and doesn't work.
I liked the fact that the course had an open book test at the end and it wasn't a test of just remembering content... it meant that I wasn't constantly worrying about rememberin...
The timing split was also spot on – longer sections on regulation and less time on things less relevant to chemical engineering but important to know about.
"Excellent delivery, good pace and very knowledgeable about content and additional questions raised during the session."
Helen was superb, she knows her stuff and is a great communicator. The pre-course work helped me keep up during the [live] sessions.
"The course was well structured and gave the theory as well as practical examples that demonstrated the theory very well. Helen was an excellent tutor and her comprehensive unde...
The structured approach to breaking down and synthesizing the system to be optimised was a good refresher.
It's given me a much better understanding of what's in the toolbox and where to start with scale-up. Definitely useful for my awareness. I thought it was good how Jamie brought ...
The case studies really helped to relate the course material to real-world scenarios and highlight the importance of process safety.
It has empowered me to upskill my work colleagues to help make our designs much safer. Very well structured with the course material that needed covering.
