DesignerSPEL Training
⚡ SmartPlant Electrical (SPEL) user training — electrical design, cable schedules and reports for oil, gas and petrochemical plant projects.
DesignerSPI INtools Training
🔧 SmartPlant Instrumentation (SPI / INtools) user training — build and manage instrument databases, loops and specifications the way EPC projects do.
DesignerSPPID Training
📐 SmartPlant P&ID (SPPID) user training — create intelligent piping and instrumentation diagrams and drive data quality on real plant projects.
The Tools Behind the Training
Choose your training based on the engineering work you want to pursue. Software names and platforms evolve over time—for example, PDMS has evolved into AVEVA E3D and SmartPlant Instrumentation is commonly referred to as SPI. Our training focuses on the skills and workflows used in today's engineering projects.
