The Westinghouse Ovation(TM) Overview Training Course will prepare the successful student to perform basic design reviews, software in-loop tests, and factory acceptance tests of the OvationTM system using all appropriate Human Performance tools. This course is intended for system engineers, maintenance technicians, and operators who will be participating in the design reviews and pre-installation testing of an OvationTM system. No previous experience with the OvationTM System is necessary, although some background in computer technology and control systems may be helpful.
The training program is offered using a combination of student-centered classroom presentations and hands-on learning, using a Westinghouse-supplied OvationTM training system.
This course is taught at the utility site on the Westinghouse training system with a generic Ovation(TM) configuration.
The Westinghouse OvationTM Overview Training Course is two (2) days (16 hours) in length.
Since interactivity is an integral part of the course, the maximum number of students should be held to sixteen (16).
Although Westinghouse does not grant an Ovation(TM) qualification to utility personnel for this training, many utilities, at their discretion, use successful completion of this course to grant a qualification.
