Appita Short Courses are very popular, with about 12 courses in Australia and six in New Zealand each year. Courses range from one to five days and cater for a broad range of industry needs, from our introductory ‘ABCs of Pulp & Paper’ and ABCs of Printing’ to advanced courses in very specific areas.

The course program is developed in consultation with senior managers in the industry and can be run either as ‘public’ courses or specifically tailored to a mill’s needs. Presenters are drawn from local experts and from overseas. Some courses are very popular and are held annually, such as ‘Principles of Papermaking’’.

We regularly run courses in conjunction with OMNI Continental and Pronamics Inc, both from Vancouver, Canada, FRM Consulting and Acrowood from Seattle, USA, and with APPI, the Pulp and Paper Research Institute at Monash University. We also invite local and overseas specialists to present focused courses such as wastewater treatment, corrosion, shut planning, statistics and wet end chemistry.

Results Orientated Reliability Maintenance Workshop

17 - 18 April 2012, Melbourne, Australia
In conjunction with 66th Appita Annual Conference & Exhibition
(View Course Outline)

Presented by Christer Idhammer, Founder and Senior Executive Vice President of IDCON, NC. Raleigh North Carolina USA.

The front line of maintenance includes supervisors, team leaders, planners, coordinators, craftspeople and operators. This is where all improvement initiatives developed by managers meet the reality and where results will be delivered or not delivered. With very few exceptions, organisations know what they need to do. So why do so few do it and why do so few achieve world class performance?  This course is designed for operations and maintenance personnel.

Who should attend:

Team Leaders
Engineers
Superintendents
Senior Operators
Process Engineers
Maintenance Personnel

To get the best value from this training it is highly recommended that you participate with a team including operations and maintenance managers, front line leaders, planners and trades.

Appita Courses are endorsed in New Zealand!

Most Appita Short Courses are endorsed by a recognized training organization. In New Zealand, FITEC, the industry training organization, endorses courses where the knowledge gained may earn credits towards the National Certificate. In both countries we are working towards integration of some courses into the national curriculum.
