Description

This course is designed for people who seek entry-level operator's job in a refinery or other petrochemical plants. There are thousands of petrochemical plants in the United States.

Petrochemical facilities are operated by highly skilled process operators. In such facilities, usually there are three or four operational levels. This course is designed to prepare a person to apply for an entry-level job. Once a person is employed, he/she moves up the ladder by acquiring experience.
