SAIT Recognized for Accredited Fieldbus Training

Written by Bill Luxton Tuesday, 14 September 2010 08:35

In June 2010, SAIT Polytechnic completed a rigorous certification process under the Foundation Certified Training Program (FCTP).

Our comprehensive five-day Foundation™ fieldbus Certified Professional program was thoroughly evaluated based on the strict criteria specified by the Foundation.

SAIT has been training in Fieldbus for 10 years now and has adapted to industry’s changing needs along the way. To reflect the most up-to-date standards, and better demonstrate the interoperability of Foundation fieldbus we recently upgraded our lab to incorporate Foundation High Speed Ethernet (HSE) technology. With over 20 different manufacturers of fieldbus equipment represented in our fieldbus lab facilities, each trainee is provided with their own training station which includes four Foundation fieldbus devices from four differing manufacturers.

We’re excited to have Ian Verhappen, P. Eng. as our certified Foundation fieldbus instructor. Ian brings a wealth of experience and subject matter expertise to our program. As one of the world’s foremost experts on Foundation™ fieldbus, Ian has been instrumental in setting the direction of Fieldbus technology.

SAIT is offering the five-day Foundation™ fieldbus Certified Professional program four times over the next year. Find out more about our upcoming offerings.
