Training Programs

TCCS In-house or On-site Training Services provide engaging learning experiences to help customers achieve the desired results.

Our instructors are industry veterans who are motivated and diversified to provide technical assistance and autonomous leadership on diversified rotating equipment with a focus on engineering turbine control solutions. With many years of experience, our professional engineers deliver unparalleled technical expertise, product knowledge, and problem solving & effective management proficiency that leads to contemporary development of testing methodology and techniques, which are helpful for verifying functional specifications on gas turbine technology.

The training programs can be conducted at TCS’s facility center or can be provided on-site (on job training).

We utilize our energized panels and custom-built simulator for courses delivered at our Training Center. For customer site training, we only use a soft simulator emulator. For online training, we use a video conference platform.
