SUMMARY:Thermal Imaging
DESCRIPTION:Click here to Register \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: Infrared Thermography is one of the most valuable tools available for inspecting electrical systems. Too often\, however\, the use of the technology falls short of its potential full value. Why? A primary reason is our failure to understand the basic heat transfer science involved and\, thus\, misinterpret the thermal signature of a component possibly headed toward heat-related failure.\nThis course will present case studies that present real problems that the thermographer will experience in the field. This course objective is to give a proper training to engineers engaged in this field\, giving them a good understanding of radiation laws and parameters to take into consideration when carrying thermographic inspections and measurements. Participants learn to avoid costly mistakes. \nTARGET AUDIENCE:\n     1. New Thermographer Surveyors.\n     2. Those intending to buy or use Infrared Thermography.\n     3.

SUMMARY:STEP UP: Leadership and Supervisory Skills Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Click here to REGISTER \nCOURSE DESCRIPTION: Leadership has always been an important aspect of work and people relations\, so when the COVID-19 pandemic struck\, this has become important more than ever. So what does this challenge require? This requires leaders who can adapt and lead people toward the new normal. This makes learning how to lead even more important. At such a time\, we can still rely on some time-tested principles\, but we will also introduce some mindsets that may be unique to the needs of the current time.  \nIn this module\, we will explore these as well as other principles that can help you navigate through this journey. We will attempt to understand how it is to influence people\, coach them\, and develop their skills. We will also identify their differences in communication styles and know how to respond as a leader. We will explore how coaching can empower people and help them feel a sense of accountability in what they do especially at times when we work from home or could not always directly see our employees. We will also discuss communicating in the middle of change. \nOBJECTIVES: \n\nTo discuss the definition of leadership and supervision\nTo identify the role of a leader.\nTo discuss pro-activeness and why a leader should have it.\nTo discuss the changes it requires to step up and become a leader.\nIdentify the different communication styles.\nEnumerate the key steps in coaching an individual.\nDiscuss Change and Your Role as a Leader\n\nMETHODOLOGY: This course is an instructor-led session that shall be facilitated through Zoom. The session shall be interactive. The facilitator shall solicit participation from the attendees. For optimum participation and learning experience\, we suggest that participants join the session with a laptop or desktop. A mobile phone is okay\, too\, albeit with limited interaction options. To optimize your experience\, it will be good if you have a working mic and camera installed or built-in to your device. For your internet connection – broadband wired or wireless (3G or 4G/LTE) \nCOURSE TOPICS: \n\nDefining Leadership and Supervision\nTypes of Leaders\nManaging Perceptions and the EBA\nLessons on Proactiveness\nLocus of Control – Knowing What You Can and Cannot Do\nParadigm Growth: Changing to a Leader’s Mindset\nPeople and Communication\nCoaching Employees\nNavigating Changes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n  \n  \n  \nRegistration Instructions: \n1. Fill out the registration form by clicking the link at the top of this page. You may also download the MS Word attachment and send it to publictraining@competad.com\n2. Our admin team shall send you shortly the Statement of Account/Confirmation of registration. Sign the statement of account to confirm and finalize your registration and email the soft copy. For free events\, you will not receive a Statement of Account. The process will stop here.\n3. For paid sessions\, follow the instructions in the statement of account and complete your payment.\n4.
