The Westinghouse Ovation(TM) System Administration Training Course will prepare the successful student to update, maintain, troubleshoot, and perform administrative tasks on the Ovation(TM) System software and hardware in accordance with plant procedures and vendor technical manuals using all appropriate Human Performance tools. This course is intended for system engineers and senior I&C technicians. All students attending must have completed the Westinghouse Ovation(TM) Engineering Training Course, the OvationTM Maintenance Training Course, or equivalent training.
This course is intended for engineers and senior I&C technicians that have completed the Westinghouse OvationTM Engineering Training Course, the Ovation(TM) Maintenance Training Course, or equivalent training, and is designed to provide students with the knowledge and experience necessary to perform routine administrative tasks, network maintenance and troubleshooting, backup, restoration, and Ovation(TM) installation. Upon completion of this course students will have the skills necessary to perform the following:
1) troubleshoot basic software issues
2) perform routine administrative tasks including maintaining user logins
3) perform basic system configuration changes
4) complete backup and restoration of the system software
5) install the Ovation(TM) software
6) troubleshoot network communication issues
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. Some site specific example applications will be loaded on the training system to help the student bridge the gap from training to plant application.
The Westinghouse OvationTM System Administration Training Course is five (5) days (40 hours) in length. Since hands-on learning is an integral part of the course, the maximum number of students should be held to ten (10) or fewer.
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.
This training can be conducted on several versions of Ovation(TM). Please contact us for details.
The following is a high level, typical daily outline of the Westinghouse Ovation(TM) System Administration Training Course. This daily schedule may vary due to student backgrounds and class pace.
