Every power failure is unique and requires specific competences and skills of the investigator in order to find the root cause of the failure. In this power failure investigation course, the participants are guided through the principles of the power failure investigation methodology.

Besides theory, the course is embedded in many interactive sessions providing hands-on experience in the form of group discussions, exercises and case studies. As the focus of the course is on the investigation process, the technical depth will be tailored to the participants.

Using real examples of failures, you will be taken on a journey of a power failure investigator from start to end. Stopping at each relevant station of the investigation, e.g. request intake, first inspection and interview, dissection, information analysis, root cause analysis, reporting and follow up of recommendations.
