We can even align our courses with your plant events, such as new equipment installations, upgrades and outages. Tell us about the challenges you face, and we can develop a training package to meet your specific needs.

Hands-on training for real-world expertise

Built on a rich OEM heritage and continuous investments in R&D, our training optimizes knowledge transfer with plenty of opportunities for hands-on learning. Our innovative approach allows your personnel to practice and learn under real-world conditions as they gain a deeper understanding of your equipment and your plant.

More courses then ever before. We now have over 200 customer training courses covering a spectrum of power plant equipment:

» Total Plant Solutions » Digital Solutions (Controls and

Softwares) » Aeroderivative Gas Turbines » Heavy Duty Gas Turbines » Steam Turbines » Boilers » Heat Recovery Steam Generators » Generators

We can help you select courses that will align with your plant configuration, student audience, and equipment.

Continuous training to keep pace with technology and growth. Training is not a one-time event. Ideally, it’s a continuous path of learning that helps plant personnel gain the knowledge needed to run an efficient, successful plant. That’s why GE offers a variety of training structures...including refresher courses, advanced-level courses, and flexible multi-year agreements...to help you address changes in personnel and changes in equipment technology.
