One of the significant challenges of the NCS industry is providing a robust training and qualification program while negotiating an influx of new engineers. It is of great value to share how facilities approach this challenge all while meeting the requirements of ANS/ANSI 8.26. Panelists will discuss basic qualification, the transfer of knowledge from senior engineers, and qualification of engineers with past experience, but who are in need of individual site, facility, and process familiarity.
