Recently, we have expanded and updated our Advanced Process Control (APC) training curriculum.   Our redesigned APC curriculum is now role-based and more project flow oriented.  APC engineers can take the training courses geared for them, while separate courses are geared for IT staff and managers.  

Also, don't miss our new APC course which has real-world lab exercises that use AspenTech's Virtual Plant, a high-fidelity dynamic simulation of a plant process that responds like a real plant.
