PREFACE Our training centre can provide you with the best courses about compressors in general. We do this by Live Stream (LS) but also at several locations around the globe. Our trainers have years of practical experience, in the field as well as trainer, to be able to instruct your staff how to operate the compressor and how to carry out maintenance on your equipment the most Safe, Efficient and Sustainable way. In this brochure, you will find our range of compressor courses and their respective outlines. We can provide the courses in the languages English, Dutch and German. For other languages, or when delegates are not fluent in these, we advise to make use of a technical translator. Most training manuals can be produced in other languages as well such as but not limited to Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, etc. Please contact us to discuss all the options. The type of training courses the Howden Customer Training Centre can provide are not limited to the modules published in this brochure. Different programs to accommodate your requirements can be discussed resulting in a tailor made program for your specific equipment, staff or goal to achieve. These courses can be executed Live Stream (LS), or at one of our worldwide Howden training locations, or at our compressor production facility and Training Centre in Rheden, or at your site. Our courses are especially developed for Howden equipment end users like:

• Operators • Maintenance Technicians / Rotating Engineers • Instrumentation Technicians • Managers, Shift leaders • Everyone else who is interested in the world of compression

In some cases, also third parties may enrol into our courses. To receive more detailed and up-to-date course information or to register please visit our website at:

The Customer will then provide a Purchase Order (PO) with invoicing instructions. Only after receiving the PO, the reservation can be finalized. Access to course location The trainer needs to be present on site one (1) hour before start of the course for preparation purposes. Customer is to arrange permission for the trainers to access the site with their laptop in advance of the course start date to avoid loss of training time. Confirmation of registration After a specific course or registration has been scheduled, Howden will send the letter of confirmation to you as soon as possible with a copy to the participant. This letter will contain: The confirmation of registration with: Howden order number, price (ex. VAT), and Course type, Course dates and Name of the participant(s). Additional course information may be: Course location and directions, Course start dates and times, Parking label, Information about recommended Hotels, Howden contact information or a Soft copy of the course manual, depending on the type of course. Cancellation of a “specific course” After the confirmation of “On-Site” course dates, cancellations or change of course dates may be made without penalty up to one (1) months before the starting date. Cancellations or date changes made shorter than one (1) months before starting date, a start-up fee of 30% from the total quotation will be charged. In case travel costs were not included in the quotation, travel costs already made incl. the 15% handling fee will be added to the 30% of the quotation when cancelation fees are applicable.
