The Gas Turbine Maintenance Awareness and Borescope Training course is designed to provide personnel with a general knowledge of the scope of work involved in scheduled turbine maintenance inspections, provide in depth knowledge of the turbine component parts and the associated periodic maintenance on the turbine unit, as well as provide an introduction to using a borescope in order to perform internal inspections.
Personnel will receive classroom instruction on turbine component terminology and theory, while also participating in hands-on maintenance evolutions and demonstrations, using actual engines and various training aids. A key aim is to impart a good general understanding of the gas turbine unit, as well as, scope and sequence of scheduled maintenance and inspections.
