Educational Services:
CQA Training, Containment Engineering, Leak Location, and More

For more than 20 years, TRI and industry experts have developed and delivered high-quality training courses for practitioners of all levels. Our courses have been taught regularly in person and online; to government agencies; to private companies; and in various locations throughout the world.

TRI courses disseminate theoretical and practical knowledge and are constantly updated to stay atop industry developments and to anticipate and serve growing needs in the field (e.g., liner integrity assessments). TRI staff and industry partners provide these lectures, workshops and short courses numerous times during the year. More than 1000 engineers, regulators, and CQA technicians have passed through these trainings, received additional certification (e.g., GCI-ICP status), and used these trainings in their professional resumes and project documentations.
