TESTIMONIALS
It was an excellent program conducted by a very experienced tutor.
The discussion topics were directly related to my work scope and
responsibilities & helpful and recommended this course to any
inspection personnel.
E. Kannan
Discipline Head, Inspection Execution, Sarawak Shell Bhd

As always the course has been conducted to an excellent standard

and the learning very much tuned to actual work environments.
Very much recommended to all levels of the engineering community.
Pg Hassanal ASBPHM Puteh
Utilities Plant Inspector, Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd

What I like most about the Training is the SIMPLIFICATION.

P.Govalupillay
Managing Director, PT. Atmindo (Indonesia)

Before I attend this Training, my knowledge about the pressure

vessel code is very poor. Now, I am SELF-MOTIVATED to know
more about ASME, quite interesting.
Adi Setiawan
Engineer, PT. Atmindo (Indonesia)

The course was conducted successfully and I believe it helps me in

having a better understanding of ASME IX "Welding Qualification".
