• the practical and theoretical work of established steam turbines manufacturers wishing to expand into the gas turbine field.
• Intensive and aerodynamic work on compressors and turbines. By aero-engine manufacturers, arising particularly from the development of aero engine superchargers
• Metallurgical developments, which provided alloys capable of withstanding the continuous high temperatures and stress to which the turbine blades are subjected.

Upon completion of this short programme, the participant will be able to understand the principle of gat turbine operations. They will appreciate the applications of gas turbines. They will be able to assess and measure vibration, calibrate vibration measurement systems. They will also be able to understand how to manage and solve other problems related to the gas turbines.

Operators and engineers who are involved with gas turbines, operation and maintenance, and those who have engineering backgrounds and works on gas turbines.
