In the fast-paced world of industrial processes, precision is not just a preference; it’s a necessity. This is where calibration plays a crucial role. Working hand in hand with industry collaborators and our academic partner Griffith College we have developed a fully subsidised QQI Level 6 Industrial Instrumentation Calibration programme. This fully funded certificate for those in employment (T&C’s apply) is specifically designed to address the growing demand for skilled professionals in industrial instrumentation calibration. In this article, we’ll explore the critical need for calibration training and the numerous benefits it brings to individuals and the industry as a whole.
Bridging the Skills Gap:
The Certificate in Industrial Instrumentation Calibration is a response to the industry’s pressing need for individuals well-versed in the principles of instrument calibration. Recent data indicates a significant skills shortage in this field, making calibration training a strategic investment for both professionals and employers alike.
Career Mobility and Advancement:
Calibration proficiency is not just a skill; it’s a passport to career mobility and advancement. The programme equips learners with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to calibrate industrial process instruments and control elements. This skill set is not only valuable in their current roles but also opens doors to new opportunities within the industry.
Industry-Relevant Qualification:
Upon successful completion of the programme, participants earn a QQI Level 6 Certificate, a recognised qualification that holds weight in the competitive job market. The 5 ECTS credits earned attest to the depth and rigor of the curriculum, providing graduates with a distinct advantage in their career pursuits.
Supporting Workforce Development:
In recognising the need for an agile and multi-skilled workforce, our programme offers partnership opportunities for organisations. Companies can tailor the training to the specific needs of their process technicians, creating a workforce that is not only technically adept but also adaptable to the evolving demands of the industry.
Upskilling and Reskilling Opportunities:
The programme caters not only to seasoned professionals looking to enhance their skills but also to individuals from non-related disciplines seeking to reskill and enter the field of industrial instrumentation calibration. This flexibility in upskilling and reskilling is crucial in meeting the ever-changing demands of the industrial landscape.
Meeting Industry Standards:
The curriculum covers a comprehensive range of topics, including calibration terminology, system documentation, and relevant procedures. Participants learn to apply calibration techniques on measurement instruments, ensuring they can measure, record, and evaluate data accurately. This focus on meeting industry standards enhances the overall quality and reliability of industrial processes.
In conclusion, the need for calibration training goes beyond a mere skill acquisition—it’s a strategic move toward career growth and industry excellence. The Certificate in Industrial Instrumentation Calibration not only addresses the current skills gap but also ensures that professionals are equipped with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to navigate the complexities of industrial processes.
