About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

This Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course has been derived from the Turnaround Model of Excellence developed by practitioners that guarantee the reliability of your operations. The VILT course builds on the Effective Plant Turnaround Management course and takes the model of excellence to the next level, with a complete cradle-to-grave methodology. The aim of this VILT course is to help practitioners Turnarounds move towards the expert level with the added challenge of COVID-19.

This is a certified course where participants will have the option to sit for a short exam on the final day of the VILT course to gain a Certificate in Advanced Turnaround, Shutdown & Outage Management.

Turnarounds are complex projects that have a substantial impact on business performance. It is therefore imperative that the people who plan, prepare and execute Turnaround have an in-depth skill and knowledge necessary to produce a successful outcome and an understanding of how Turnarounds work, why they sometimes don’t and what to do if they start going wrong.

This complex, uncertain and at times unfamiliar undertaking can, and often does, overwhelm the people involved and result in overrun of duration, overspend of budget or, even worse, an unreliable plant. This VILT course concentrates on how to organise the people who will do the job and the level and quality of planning required to give not only the desired outcome but value for money as well.

This VILT course will take participants on a journey that begins with setting strategic objectives, explains the latest thinking on setting the right scope in good time, then basic planning to challenge planning, executing turnarounds safely to the right standards and handing over to operations. Of course, no turnaround can be considered complete until the plant is in full operation and the learning review has been completed, so we will close the VILT course with how to use the Model of Excellence to do this and, if necessary, a full forensic review.

    Great 5 half-day session! I gained new high level knowledge about turnarounds. Loved the story telling and sharing by the trainer in between for examples. Just wanted to share the possible impact of this course on myself, with the new knowledge gained. This will help me understand the stakeholder/business partner role and responsibility during a turnaround, especially on how to support or ease the event flow. This will also assist me to find a way for improvements in our company process workflow and capture some or use some of the best practices in my work. Certainly, this session has helped me to start taking note of the importance of how the work scope is determined .
