Pressure vessel training courses

Services provided by LR Insurance, Inc. a company of the Lloyds Register Group

We have prepared a series of training courses for manufacturers of boilers and pressure vessels.
Each programme is specifically developed to increase your knowledge and understanding of the ASME Code and its requirements, including the new
ASME Section VIII Division 2 Code. Our extensive experience as an Authorised Inspection Agency enables us to offer a wide range of training initiatives
and services to help you meet the requirements of the ASME Code.
Training is provided by our Authorised Inspectors or experienced design engineers; people with real hands-on experience. Our participation in ASME
Technical Committees helps us to deliver quality training solutions that provide you with the very latest information and expertise to help you every step
of the way. Our training programmes help those involved in fabrication or quality control to develop their Quality Control (QC) System, a prerequisite for
seeking a Certificate of Authorization.
All our ASME services and training programmes are provided by LR Insurance, Inc., a company of the Lloyds Register Group, and are subject to review
and regular feedback to ensure accuracy and relevance.
