A Sneak Peek into Noria's Training Programme
Lubrication-Institute recently accomplished its 4th Series of Noria Public Trainings and In-house Trainings in India. The trainings were organized across Kolkata, Mumbai, Vadodara and Vapi, with Mr. Andrew Jr. Sitton from the United States and Mr. Michael Hooper from New Zealand as the lead faculty and Mr. KNV Subrahmanyam as supporting faculty.
The Public Training programmes conducted were on three subjects which were
- Essentials of Machinery Lubrication,
- Advanced Machinery Lubrication
- Advanced Oil Analysis.
Besides these, two In House Trainings on Lubrication & Oil Analysis were conducted for Reliance Industries Ltd at their Learning Centre at Vadodara and Hard Castle Petrofer at Vapi. Each programme was spread across three days of an interactive classroom discussion with the participants and the trainer discussing a variety of issues they experienced and possible corrective measures they would take away from this programme.
“Do not take oil analysis reports at face value. Look beyond the analysis report for possible answers. Helped dispel various myths which were taken as gospel truth.” (S. Biswas, Indian Oil Corporation)
There was a total participation of 96 professionals across the 5 programs. Participants received a Noria course manual as a future go to book and a certificate.
The programmes were followed by an optional ICML (International Council of Machinery Lubrication) organized certification test. The council offered level 1, 2 & 3 certifi cations in MLA/ MLT/MLE.
“I am working as a maintenance engineer in Petrochemical industry, looking after rotary equipment. After this training program, my perception regarding lubricating oil is completely changed.
