Comprehensive Curriculum

Training curriculum accompanies each HOT MODEL filled with over 100 exercises, scenarios, and procedures. This includes an operating manual which details all operating procedures of startup, shutdown, emergencies, and exercises.

Simulations are provided with the HOT MODEL 1, which encompass: 

  • CPM300 Process Model
  • Training Workbook
  • Virtual Field Operator
  • Virtual Training Environment
  • ELearning
The Hands-On Trainer (HOT 1) provides real-world process technology training through interactive, hands-on learning for technical schools, workforce development, and industrial training programs. Designed to enhance operator skills, equipment troubleshooting, and process safety, this functional trainer unit allows learners to practice pump operations, valve lineups, heat exchanger maintenance, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. With a focus on competency-based learning and skills development, the HOT 1 trainer helps students gain practical experience in process control, fluid handling, and system operations, preparing them for careers in refining, petrochemicals, manufacturing, and power generation.
